Video 5-4-3 (AB): (A) Mid-ventricular variant form of stress-induced cardiomyopathy. In this example, imaging in the apical 4-chamber view demonstrates preserved contractility of the apical and basal portions of the LV with akinesis of the mid segments of the ventricular walls. (B) Mid-ventricular variant form of stress-induced cardiomyopathy. In this example, imaging in the apical 2-chamber plane demonstrates preserved contractility of the apical and basal portions of the LV with akinesis of the mid segments of the ventricular walls.
