[Hibernation and stunning: conditions with reversible left ventricular dysfunction].
Hibernation and stunning are important causes of reversible left ventricular dysfunction in patients with ischaemic heart disease. A case is presented where these conditions precipitated referral for cardiac allograft transplantation, and where left ventricular function was found to be markedly improved after two years in the absence of transplantation.
