  • Title: [A case of electrically and mechanically stunned myocardium].
    Author: Tardieu A, Virot P, Vandroux JC, Vergnoux H, Doumeix JJ, Delhoume B, Chabanier A, Blanc P, Richard A, Bensaid J.
    Journal: Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss; 1985 Jun; 78(6):947-50. PubMed ID: 3929723.
    Abstract:
    The authors report the case of a 72 year old patient with ECG changes of anterior myocardial infarction complicated by left ventricular failure and shock which has a favourable outcome with regression of the pathological Q waves on the 7th day. Radionuclide investigation and coronary angiography showed no myocardial sequellae and the coronary arteries appeared normal. This case, an example of stunned myocardium, confirms that severe myocardial ischaemia, even of short duration, may induce reversible but prolonged metabolic disturbances. The practical implications of this concept are discussed.
