ABSTRACT
Myocardial dysfunction without coronary involvement may occur in acute cerebral diseases. We report 4 cases where, in the context of acute cerebral disorder, the echocardiograms revealed an extensive left ventricular circumferential akinesis except at the apex. Besides, for three of those cases no coronary disease has been highlighted. Recognition of such a pattern of LV dysfunction should lead to the search for an acute cerebral disease.
