Congestive heart failure was present in 56 percent (39/70) of the medical and 43 percent (20/46) of the surgical group. The medical group had a mean LVEF of 0.20 and a mean left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) of 29 mm. Hg. The surgical group had a mean LVEF of 0.21 ...
Aorta-coronary bypass grafting can be performed in patients with poor left ventricular function with a low operative mortality rate, relief of angina pectoris, and improvement in symptoms of congestive heart failure. Previous article in issue Next article in issue View PDF...
Thereafter, the patient's left ventricular function deteriorated progressively, with the occurrence of another myocardial infarction and frequent bouts of symptoms related to congestive heart failure. He died of ischemic cardiomyopathy about seven years later. Findings including an autopsy report showed ...

Symptoms markedly improved and EF increased to > 55% following saphenous vein bypass for > 80% ostial left main ...
Ischemic cardiomyopathy Although Raftery and colleagues14 described the causal relationship between coronary artery disease and congestive cardiomyopathy in 1969, it was Burch and coworkers15 who introduced the term “ischemic cardiomyopathy” a year later. Ischemic cardiomyopathy is defined by LV systolic ...
13,14 Individuals with cardiac conditions likely to produce cardioembolism, including atrial fibrillation (AF), recent myocardial infarction (MI), unstable angina, dilated cardiomyopathy, recent congestive heart failure, and valvular disease prone to the production of emboli, were excluded from the ...

such as lung infection,arrhythmia,hyponatremia,hypolipaemia,low serum albumin,elevation of cardiac troponin,and decrease of ejection fraction of left ventricle are high risk markers as signs for disease deterioration in senescent patients with late-phase ischemic cardiomyopathy,and closely correlate with ...
Although the successes of fibrinolytic and non-invasive therapies have markedly improved survival post-myocardial infarction, cardiac function often declines until patients develop symptoms of congestive heart failure, a terminal outcome known as ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). Despite its growing prevalence,...
