Abstract
Patients with coronary artery disease frequently show left ventricular dysfunction at rest. It is an important challenge for the clinician to identify those patients with left ventricular asynergy that is potentially reversible with successful revascularization, and distinguish them from those with irreversibly damaged myocardium that has been replaced by scar tissue.
