description

– Transient hypokinesis, akinesis, or dyskinesis of the left ventricular mid-segments with or without apical involvement; the regional wall motion abnormalities extend beyond a single epicardial vascular distribution; a stressful trigger is often, but not always, present; – Absence of obstructive coronary disease or angiographic evidence of acute plaque rupture; – New ECG abnormalities (either ST-segment elevation and/or T wave inversion) or modest elevation in cardiac troponin; and – Absence of pheochromocytoma or myocarditis.
