Background An increase in beat‐to‐beat variability of repolarization (BVR) predicts arrhythmia onset in experimental models, but its clinical translation is not well established. We investigated the temporal changes in BVR before nonsustained ventricular

Coronary-artery bypass surgery in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
BACKGROUND The survival benefit of a strategy of coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) added to guideline-directed medical therapy, as compared with medical therapy alone, in patients with coronary artery disease, heart failure, and severe left ...

Circulating microRNAs as biomarkers of Chagas cardiomyopathy
BackgroundChagas cardiomyopathy (CHCM) is the most important clinical manifestation of Chagas disease. The analysis of cardiac miRNAs may contribute to predicting the progression to CHCM in Chagas indeterminate phase and/or to the differential diagnosis ...

Sudden cardiac death in patients with ischemic heart failure undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting results from the STICH randomized clinical trial (Surgical Treatment for Ischemic Heart Failure) [PDF]
Background—The risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with heart failure following CABG has not been examined in a contemporary clinical trial of surgical revascularization. This analysis describes the incidence, timing and clinical predictors of

CORONARY ANGIOPLASTY AND STENTING IN PATIENTS WITH ISCHEMIC CARDIOMYOPATHY
Multiple coronary artery atherosclerotic lesions are a major cause of ischemic cardiomyopathy. Myocardial revascularization in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy in the presence of the viable myocardium and/or ischemic areas leads to improved central ...

Ischemic cardiomyopathy ? revascularization vs. transplantation [PDF]
Advanced coronary artery disease (CAD) and ischemic cardiomyopathy with elevated pulmonary artery pressures are criteria of a severe illness. In selected cases surgical revascularization has proved beneficial in terms of survival, reduction of morbidity and lowering the frequency of angina pectoris [6] in numerous studies over the past 25 years.
