Can a paramedic return to work after suffering from stress-induced cardiomyopathy?
After a full recovery, can a paramedic return to work following V-tach from stress-induced cardiomyopathy (not triggered on the job, but by a personal crisis event), or is s/he looking at a career change? Feel free to include educated opinions on the safety of doing so.
Answers from EMS and physicians preferred, please.
Additional note: This is for a fictional character. I'm looking for a general idea of feasibility while trying to avoid the lazy "Word of God" if possible. I am repeating an earlier question due to a mistake made while listing details: I'm hoping the changes and additional details make answering the question easier.
After event:
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Height/Weight: 6'0, 170lbs
Body type: fit (exercises regularly)
EF%: 60%
ECG: normal
(during event: VT with a pulse, resolved with CV under sedation, follow-up of amio on route, SCM diagnosed from cardiac echo post-transfer)
Stress-induced Cardiomyopathy, if you are unaware, is also called Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy or Broken Heart Syndrome. Typically, it heals completely with a less than 10% recurrence (when it does recur, it usually requires a similar trigger event according to medical journals on the subject), and few people have long-term side effects. Prognosis is considered excellent. Primary population is postmenopausal women, but men can develop it, and 2% of all myocardial infarction (up to 5% in women) is suspected to be SCM.
Please only answer after reading the question. This is for a fictional character. The question is theoretical.
Yeah, that's the problem--I could find cases where it happened, but never a follow up on whether they continued work or not :(

If it is for a fictional character then you can write whatever you want.
Since you put all that time into researching this, you should also have found cases where the person did or did not return to their jobs.
I think you are missing the point. When it comes to illnesses, everyone is different. There is no way to say if this person is able to go back to work. What might look ok on paper may not be how the person actually appears.
"Real" EMS providers and physicians are not going to give you much more information than what you have been given.

Consult your doctor.
No one here is able to give you permission to return to work.
