Abstract

|
|
|
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also called stress-induced cardiomyopathy, usually occurs in patients with severe emotional or physiologic stress.The prognosis is favorable, and the wall motion abnormlities normalize within weeks.However, stress-induced cardiomyopathy is rarely assosicated with left ventricular thrombus and thromboembolic complications.Here, we report a case of stress-induced cardiomyopathy with left ventricular thrombus that embolized to cause cerebral infarction.
