Stress-induced cardiomyopathy (SCM) is characterized by transient left ventricular (LV) contractile abnormalities typically involving the apex and mid-segment. It is related to triggers such as intense emotional or physical stresses and more common in postmenopausal women. Since the first report of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy was issued in 1991, several variant forms of SCM have been reported. Although right ventricular (RV) involvement is not uncommon, isolated right ventricular involvement is rare. We describe atypical SCM with isolated RV involvement in a patient with acute calculous cholecystitis.
