Areas of hibernating myocardium are common in patients with heart failure arising from coronary artery disease, Canty noted. "Determining how this impacts prognosis is the focus of the UB ...

So the analysis "seems to call into question what the definitions of viability and hibernating myocardium really are. In a way, it throws a monkey wrench into our entire thinking on it," he said.

Unlike myocardial viability at baseline, the metric of scar burden, assessed in a subgroup of 478 individuals, did predict fewer deaths and heart failure hospitalizations (HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.04-1.33) ...

Hibernating myocardium is a condition in which heart cells that have experienced reduced blood flow over an extended period of time due to narrowed coronary arteries adapt to this deprivation by ...

Nuclear studies using 18-FDG-positron emission tomography (PET) to locate and define hibernating viable myocardium have shown great promise and quite good sensitivity and specificity.

A hibernating myocardium happens when the heart muscle no longer functions well because there was an extended period of time where the blood supply was restricted.

Hibernating myocardium is a condition in which heart cells that have experienced reduced blood flow over an extended period of time due to narrowed coronary arteries adapt to this deprivation by ...

A specialist in stem cell biology at the University at Buffalo has received a $1.98 million grant from National Institutes of Health to investigate the potential of bone marrow-derived adult stem ...

But in a secondary analysis, extent of such hibernating heart muscle was not a good predictor of clinical outcomes, which in the trial meant death from any cause or hospitalization for heart failure ...
