Hibernating myocardium.
Decreased myocardial contraction occurs as a consequence of a reduction in blood flow. The concept of hibernation implies a downregulation of contractile function as an adaptation to a reduction in myocardial blood flow that serves to maintain myocardial integrity and viability during persistent ischemia. Unequivocal evidence for this concept exists in scenarios of myocardial ischemia that last...
متن کاملThe Sleeping Heart : Hibernating Myocardium
Classical teaching about myocardial ischemia is now being challenged by exciting new concepts that have been evolving over the past two decades. It is now recognized that prolonged myocardial ischemia does not inevitably lead to irreversible necrosis of myocardial tissue. Similarly, segment dysfunction in the ventricle does not necessarily imply that the myocardium in that area has undergone in...
متن کاملHibernating myocardium: new answers, still more questions!
In the early 1980s, Rahimtoola 1 reviewed the results of coronary bypass surgery trials and identified patients with coronary artery disease and chronic left ventricular dysfunction that improved upon revascularization. He proposed the concept of hibernating myocardium as “prolonged ischemia. . . in which myocardial metabolism and ventricular function are reduced to match the reduced blood supp...
متن کاملHibernating myocardium: diagnosis and patient outcomes.
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 di...
