The pathology of hibernating myocardium.
Nucl Med Commun. 2002; (4): 303-9
Myocardial hibernation represents a protective mechanism of muscle preservation in the setting of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Long-standing myocardial hypoperfusion leads to diminished myocardial contractility that reverses with improved blood flow after revascularization. The morphologic changes in both animal models and humans are described.
