Six-minute walk distance after coronary artery bypass grafting compared with medical therapy in ischaemic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Background: In patients with ischaemic left ventricular dysfunction, coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) may decrease mortality, but it is not known whether CABG improves functional capacity.

Left Ventricular Diastolic Parameters in Dilated Cardiomypoathy: Are We Missing Out on Something?
Equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography is an established modality to assess the left ventricular (LV) systolic function in several clinical situations. Diastolic parameters can also be extracted from this investigation.

Left ventriculoplasty for ischemic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
In order to treat ischemic cardiomyopathy, which is defined as non-aneurysmal diffuse akinetic left ventricle with chronic heart failure following myocardial infarction, the mid-term effect of the endoventricular circular patch plasty (EVCPP) was studied.EVCPP has been performed on 54 patients (46 men and eight women with a mean age of 61 years) during

Role of cardiac resynchronization therapy in the development of new-onset atrial fibrillation: A single-center prospective study. [PDF]
Albeit several studies examined the association between cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and atrial fibrillation (AF) in heart failure (HF), results are still unclear and quite conflicting.

Comparison of Benefits from Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy between Patients with Ischemic Cardiomyopathy and Patients with Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an effective treatment for patients with moderate to severe heart failure. However, 20-30% of patients remain non-responders to CRT.
