Medical vocabulary: What does Myocardial Stunning mean
In cardiology, stunned myocardium is a state when some section of the myocardium shows a form of contractile abnormality. This is a segmental dysfunction which persists for a variable period of time, about two weeks, even after ischemia has been relieved. In this situation, while myocardial blood flow (MBF) returns to normal, function is still depressed for a variable period of time.
