Recovery of myocardial function in the hibernating heart

Abstract: Impaired contractile performance at rest is not necessarily due to irreversible tissue damage but may relate to the "hibernating" myocardium. Hibernating myocardium has been defined as potentially reversible, chronic contractile dysfunction during prolonged, painless ischemia. The extent and time course of functional recovery after restoration of flow is of major importance for clinical decision making. The existence of hibernating myocardium was first documented in patients following bypass surgery. Angiograp… Show more
