A member asked:
What are the differences between stunned myocardium & hibernating myocardium?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Timing: Stunned myocardium usually refers to a sudden event like a heart attack after which the heart does not function properly. If it is not completely damaged, the stunned heart may recover. Hibernating myocardium is not functioning well because of a chronic lack of blood flow to the heart and may improve if that blood supply is restored.
