Flow and function in hibernating myocardium (n = 18). Left: resting perfusion was significantly reduced in each myocardial layer of LAD-perfused myocardium (LAD) compared with remote normally perfused (remote) region. Middle: regional differences in perfusion were more pronounced during adenosine vasodilation. FT, full thickness. Right: regional wall thickening [end-systolic wall thickness (ESWT) − end-diastolic wall thickness (EDWT)] was significantly reduced in hibernating LAD regions compared with remote regions. Endo, subendocardial; Mid, midmyocardial; Epi, subepicardial.
