Abstract
Recent studies with nitroglycerin [3] have indicated that the administration of this drug can effectively distinguish between zones of asynergy with and without residual contractile properties. Some studies have shown that the presence of pathologic Q-waves in the electrocardiogram and the severity of coronary obstruction adversely affect the potential reversibility of myocardial asynergy, while the presence of collateral vessels favors reversibility.
