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.

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

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.

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
