Stunned myocardium exhibits increased oxygen extraction and consumption despite depressed mechanical function, suggesting inefficient energy transfer or increased noncontractile energy use.

May indicate inefficient energetics in stunned myocardium; leaves open translation to human post-ischemic recovery.
Stahl et al. (1988) studied this question.
