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 ...

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.

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.
