Stress-induced cardiomyopathy, also know as reversible left ventricular apical ballooning, " Broken-Heart" syndrome, and in Japan, Takotsubo, is characterized by the presence of a transient left ventricular dyskinetic movement of the anterior wall of with hypercontraction of the ventricular basilar segments precipitated by emotional stress. The clinical course of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is similar to that of an acute myocardial infarct with typical chest pain and electrocardiographic changes, and during the acute phase, coronary angiography is used to distinguish between the two conditions.
应激性心肌病，也被称为可逆性左心室心尖气球样变、“心碎”综合征，在日本被称为Takotsubo综合征，其特征是在情绪应激诱发下，出现前壁短暂的左心室运动障碍以及心室基底节段的过度收缩。Takotsubo心肌病的临床病程与急性心肌梗死相似，有典型胸痛和心电图改变，在急性期，冠状动脉造影用于区分这两种情况。
