Abstract
This article describes clinical situations in which stunning occurs and upd ates previous reviews on the topic. Stunning following angioplasty, angina and exercise-induced ischemia, infarction, and after cardiac surgery are de scribed. In addition, newer concepts regarding stunning, including neurogen ic stunned myocardium, are discussed. Left atrial stunning following cardio version is a recently recognized phenomenon with important clinical implica tions, but differs from the original concept of post-ischemic stunning.
