Abstract
Myocardial stunning is defined as a prolonged myocardial dysfunction with gradual return of contractile activity after a brief episode of severe ischemia. Usually it is seen in patients with myocardial infarction following treatment with thrombolytic agents, in patients with angina, and in patients recovering from cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. We report an interesting case of myocardial stunning following respiratory arrest.
