Stunning of the myocardium: an update.

abstract：:Annual mortality from congestive heart failure ranges from 15% to 60%, depending on the severity of the left ventricular damage and underlying disease. Most controlled trials have been too small to detect any beneficial effect on survival from the newer vasodilator and inotropic drugs. However, the results of two rece...
