Abstract
- Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome is an acute febrile disease with high fever, hemorrhagic symptoms, renal failure. Stress-induced cardiomyopathy is a newly described clinical entity characterized by transient left ventricular apical ballooning and left ventricular apical dyskinesis, with no stenosis on the coronary angiogram. We experienced a rare case of stress-induced cardiomyopathy associated with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.
