  • Title: Coughing-induced stress cardiomyopathy.
    Author: Butman SM.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2010 Sep 01; 76(3):388-90. PubMed ID: 20186925.
    Abstract:
    Stress cardiomyopathy is described as acute myocardial infarction provoked by a stressful event with evidence of a significant focal wall motion but with little or no significant coronary artery disease. In this case report, a particularly bad bout of coughing resulted in chest pressure, troponin release, and evidence of antero-apical dyskinesis despite angiographic normal coronary arteries. The patient made a full recovery of function after an uncomplicated hospital stay.
