Abstract
More than fifty years ago, Tennant and Wiggers [1] were the first to demonstrate that “the ventricular zone affected by ligation of a large coronary branch not only appears cyanotic and dilated, but that it seems to alter in its mode of contraction”. Since then, the function of ischemic and nonischemic myocardium has been studied extensively in animal models by a variety of techniques [2–6], including M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography. Similar data in humans on the effect of transient ischemia on left ventricular function have been limited to observations during spontaneous or provoked attacks of angina pectoris. Using two-dimensional echocardiography, Gerson et al. [7] demonstrated in a patient with Prinzmetal’s angina, akinesia of the previously normally contracting left ventricular posterior wall during a provoked attack of pain.
