title: ["Hibernating myocardium"--problems in defining and diagnosing prolonged but reversible myocardial dysfunction].
abstract: Positron emission tomography is a powerful tool for diagnosis of chronic myocardial dysfunction due to ischemia without necrosis ("hibernating myocardium"). It can recognize viable myocardium in patients with severe myocardial dysfunction. However, both definition and diagnosis remain controversial.
