    Abstract
    Stress cardiomyopathy is a reversible cause of acute left ventricular dysfunction that can cause disease-related complications in the acute phase. Due to overlapping symptoms and investigation findings, stress cardiomyopathy can be misdiagnosed as an acute myocardial infarction. Hence correct identification of the condition is of great importance. It is increasingly being described with several medical conditions, which are associated with increased catecholamine surge like inflammatory bowel disease. Although the disease is reversible, due to the disease-related severe complications it is important to promptly identify and treat accordingly to prevent morbidity and mortality
