Article/Chapter Title: | Stress-induced cardiomyopathy |
Abstract: | The diagnosis and management of ventricular dysfunction is central to the practice of cardio-oncology. Physician-scientists and clinicians strive to compartmentalize ventricular dysfunction into distinct categories as an aid in the understanding of the disease. But the practice of cardio-oncology does not often afford such a luxury in that most clinical presentations involving ventricular dysfunction have multifactorial determinants. Exploring the entity of stress cardiomyopathy provides a good conceptual framework for the examination of acute ventricular dysfunction in cancer patients. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021 R. M.
