Stone heart syndrome (also known as ischemic contracture) is a rare and serious condition observed in the heart after periods of warm ischemia. It occurs as a complication of cardiopulmonary bypass, and is resistant to several different treatments and interventions, often resulting in death. [1]
The condition is rare, but the outcome typically fatal.[2][3] It was first described by Denton Cooley (1920–2016) in 1972.[4]
