Imaging techniques for the assessment of myocardial hibernation. Report of a Study Group of the European Society of Cardiology.

abstract：:To assess if cold-induced vasoconstriction may persist during exercise and contribute to the development of myocardial ischaemia, we studied 11 patients with exertional angina and angiographically proven coronary artery disease, in all cases involving the proximal portion of the left anterior descending artery. Great ...
