Hibernating myocardium: diagnosis and patient outcomes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Approximately 50% of the patients with chronic obstructive coronary artery disease resulting in chronic contractile dysfunction have hibernating myocardium and may benefit from revascularization. This pooled analysis describes the relative merits of dobutamine echocardiography, thallium-201 and technetium-99m scintigraphy, positron emission tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, for the diagnosis of hibernating myocardium and prediction of patient outcomes.

Efficacy of coronary angioplasty for the treatment of hibernating myocardium.
OBJECTIVES To determine the efficacy of coronary angioplasty as the sole method of revascularisation in patients with coronary artery disease and chronically dysfunctional but viable myocardium (hibernating myocardium), and to assess the effect of restenosis on functional outcome.

متن کاملMyocardial blood flow in patients with hibernating myocardium.
The debate on whether resting myocardial blood flow (MBF) to hibernating myocardium is reduced or not has attracted a lot of interest and has contributed to stimulate new research on heart failure in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Positron emission tomography with oxygen-15 labeled water (H(2)(15)O) or nitrogen-13 labeled ammonia (13NH(3)) has been used for the absolute quantifica...

متن کاملBlunted functional responses to pre- and postjunctional sympathetic stimulation in hibernating myocardium.
Regional reductions in norepinephrine-tracer uptake are found in pigs with hibernating myocardium. Clinical studies would suggest that this is evidence for denervation; however, the functional responses to sympathetic stimulation have not been evaluated, and our previous studies with beta-adrenergic stimulation have not suggested denervation hypersensitivity. Therefore, pigs were chronically in...
