Abstract
Stress (Takotsubo) cardiomyopathy (SC) is a cardiomyopathy characterised by transient myocardial dysfunction, commonly triggered by a surge in catecholamine. Electrocardiographic features may mimic other conditions, such as myocardial infarction. We presented two cases of SC and reviewed the electrocardiographic features of this disease entity.
