“…Additionally, there have been numerous reports linking this entity to certain medications and toxins such as albuterol, 69 high-dose intravenous cytarabin, 70 5-fluorouracil, 71 entacapone, 72 and allopurinol 73 as well as the inhalation of hypochlorite gel exhalations. 74 Furthermore, a case has been reported on a possible link to cocaine abuse.…”

“…They have suggested that a catecholamine-induced increase in LV afterload produces changes in the LV similar to those described in acute pulmonary embolism; that is, akinesis of the RV mid-free wall with the apex retaining its systolic function (also known as McConnell's sign). 68 Additionally, there have been numerous reports linking this entity to certain medications and toxins such as albuterol, 69 high-dose intravenous cytarabin, 70 5-fluorouracil, 71 entacapone, 72 and allopurinol 73 as well as the inhalation of hypochlorite gel exhalations. 74 Furthermore, a case has been reported on a possible link to cocaine abuse.…”

Cardiomyopathies (CMs) have many etiological factors that can result in severe structural and functional dysregulation. Fortunately, there are several potentially reversible CMs that are known to improve when the root etiological factor is addressed. In this article, we discuss several of these reversible CMs, including tachycardia-induced, peripartum, inflammatory, hyperthyroidism, Takotsubo, and chronic illness–induced CMs. Our discussion also includes a review on their respective pathophysiology, as well as possible management solutions.

Cardiac muscle dysfunction resulting in heart failure can be reversed with appropriate diagnosis and therapy in nearly 25%8211;50% of all nonischemic cardiomyopathies. Diverse etiologies such as congenital, metabolic, toxic, infective, inflammatory, infiltrative, stress induced, and arrhythmia induced can cause myocardial dysfunction which can be restored to normal. All morphologic types including dilated, hypertrophic, and restrictive cardiomyopathies can have an underlying reversible cause. Imaging modalities such as echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography (CT), positron-emission tomography-CT, and cardiac magnetic resonance along with appropriate biochemical tests can help diagnose these varied etiologies. Recognizing reversible myocardial dysfunction at an early stage of the disease helps avoid inappropriate prolonged therapy for heart failure and repeated hospital admissions and may result in a cure in a significant number of cases.
