ABSTRACT
Potentially lethal arrhythmia, occurring at presentation or during hospitalization, are a part of the clinical spectrum of stress cardiomyopathy. There is significant association between the catecholamine provoked nonalternating beat to beat fluctuations in T-wave morphology, termed T-wave lability (TWL), and the clinical risk of arrhythmia. We report four patients with diagnosis of stress cardiomyopathy, in whom serial electrocardiography showed macrovoltage nonalternating fluctuations in T-wave morphology.
