Predischarge identification of viable myocardium with a spontaneous recovery over time can be helpful in decision-making process following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). An intriguing hypothesis is that identification of viability in myocardial asynergic segments with or without spontaneous recovery over time may require an inotropic stimulus of a different intensity. To test this we used post-extrasystolic potentiation (PESP), which represents an inotropic stimulation of a different intensity as a function of coupling interval.
