Abstract

Hibernating myocardium refers to a state of persistently impaired left ventricular (LV) function at rest caused by a reduced coronary blood flow that can be partially or completely restored following revascularization. The mechanisms underlying this state of reduced contractility are controversial.1 Therefore, assessment of myocardial oxygenation may provide better understanding into the pathophysiology underlying hibernating myocardium.
