“…Therefore, because of findings of coronary artery angiogram, IVUS, cardiac enzymes and serial echocardiogram, it would be more appropriate to diagnose ACS in this case, rather than atypical SICM. 13) Although we think that this patient should be diagnosed as ACS according to current diagnostic criteria, which includes absence of obstructive coronary artery disease or angiographic evidence of acute plaque rupture, regional cardiac function seemed to indicate atypical SICM on initial presentation. There's also possibility of although PCI was performed on LAD according to coronary angiography and IVUS findings, RCA was also involved such as coronary spasm or intra- …”

Stress-induced cardiomyopathy is frequently confused with acute coronary syndromes. We encountered a 64-year old female patient with panhypopituitarism initially suspected as atypical stress-induced cardiomyopathy due to her history and initial echocardiographic findings. She was finally diagnosed as non ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction based on the findings of coronary angiogram, intravascular ultrasound and subsequent echocardiogram.

Stress-induced cardiomyopathy (SCMP) is diagnosed in 1-2% of patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome. Because of sharing many common clinical features with SCMP, acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) can be misdiagnosed as SCMP. However, it can be associated with fatal outcome of the patient. Also, diagnosis of SCMP seems to be always challenging to clinicians, especially in the decision of taking coronary angiography which is still invasive and even risky. Here, we present a case with acute STEMI mimicking SCMP as a result of anatomical variation of coronary circulation. In this patient, prompt and early coronary angiography and stent implantation was very helpful.
