Description
Summary:	E ditor ,-Rinaldi et alperformed an important study, demonstrating for the first time in patients with coronary disease that protection against postexercise "stunning" occurs in association with the warm-up effect when exercise tests are separated by 30 minutes. 1 Cumulative stunning occurs when tests are separated by 60 minutes. [...]previous reports have failed to demonstrate persistent impairment ofglobal left ventricular function, even using radionuclide ventriculography. 2 The study illustrates the difficulty of applying concepts defined in highly instrumented animal preparations to a rather less controllable human model.
