[Stunned myocardium or hibernating myocardium? Apropos of a case].
The authors relate a case report of unstable angina pectoris accompanied by a well-documented stunned myocardium phenomenon. Stunned and hibernating myocardium resulting from an acute or chronic coronary ischaemia on the myocardium are notions which widely govern revascularisation indications, especially after a myocardial infarction. At present, their detection is based on isotopic methods and stress echocardiography.
