Persistent myocardial stunning can induce a hibernating phenotype with metabolic shifts that protect myocardial function during subsequent flow reductions.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May indicate protective metabolic adaptation in repeated ischemia; leaves open translation to human hibernation and requires clinical validation.
Kim et al. (2003) studied this question.
