Current state of myocardial revascularization in patients with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction

Abstract

In most cases, severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction is a consequence of ischemic heart disease. In clinical condition, current recommendations support myocardial revascularization in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy by performing coronary artery bypass grafting. Information on safety and effectiveness of percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with ischemic heart failure is limited. The aim of this review is to study the current state of this problem.
