Her overall risk stratification for sudden death was estimated at 2-3% per year because of the massive left ventricular hypertrophy and greater predisposition for fatal ventricular arrhythmias originating from the apical
akinetic chamber.
This phenotype of stress cardiomyopathy can be easily recognized by its unique pattern of hyperdynamic midventricle and
akinetic or hypokinetic basal and apical segments.

A diagnosis of probable CJD requires rapidly progressive dementia, and two of four of myoclonus, visual or cerebellar symptoms, pyramidal/extrapyramidal symptoms, or

The inferior and posterior left ventricular walls contracted moderately but septum and apex were
