The cause of<unk>  cardiomyopathy is largely unknown. However, it is usually triggered by emotional and/or physical<unk>  and may be related to certain medical conditions. According to a study in the literature, plasma catecholamine levels were higher in patients with<unk>  cardiomyopathy compared to the patients with myocardial infarction. However, other studies showed that catecholamine levels were similar in both groups. 
In addition<unk>  cardiomyopathy can be induced by high doses of catecholamines and even standard doses of dobutamine in daily clinical practise.   It is not understood why the disease mostly affects postmenopausal women and why the apex and mid-ventricular part of left ventricle are specifically affected.
