IntroductionHibernating myocardium is associated with increased ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Current algorithms aim to detect only large areas of left ventricular hibernation, likely to respond to revascularization and improve LV EF. However, no current tools allow the dete...
