Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. The presence of a transient abnormality in left ventricular wall motion beyond a single epicardial coronary artery perfusion territory 2. The absence of obstructive coronary artery disease or evidence of acute plaque rupture in coronary in angiography or coronary computed tomography 3. The presence of new electrocardiographic abnormalities or elevation in cardiac troponin levels 4. The absence of myocarditisExceptions to these criteria are the focal (within one coronary distribution) type and death during the acute phase before wall-motion recovery in a patient matching all other criteria. If coronary disease is found, the diagnosis of stress cardiomyopathy can still be made if the wall motion abnormalities are not in the distribution of the coronary disease. In patients with phaeochromocytoma, the pathophysiology and clinical phenotype are identical and hence the consensus of the authors is to include patients with this condition. The diagnosis of a transient abnormality in left ventricular wall motion due to vasospastic angina
