Coronary artery bypass in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction.
We retrospectively reviewed the case records of 82 patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction < 30%) who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting between March 1993 and February 2000. They were aged 28 to 76 years (mean, 60 years), and 66 of them were male. Significant comorbid factors included hypertension (93%), diabetes mellitus (85%), and hypercholesterolemia (49%...
متن کاملearly outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction
background: left ventricular dysfunction is one of the most powerful predictors of early and late outcomes in patients who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg). the aim of this study was to assess the early results of cabg that predict 30-day mortality and prolonged length of hospital stay (los) after cabg in patients with an ejection fraction (ef) of 30% or less. methods: seven hundr...
متن کاملReversible segmental left ventricular dysfunction after coronary angioplasty.
Patients with chronic segmental myocardial dysfunction may demonstrate improvement after coronary revascularization. To evaluate the early effects of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) on resting left ventricular segmental function, we obtained serial two-dimensional echocardiograms 1.1 +/- 0.9 days before and 3.1 +/- 2 days after elective PTCA in 40 patients. Echocardiograms...
متن کاملExercise capacity in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction.
Normal or near-normal exercise capacity has been thought to reflect normal left ventricular function. Many compensatory mechanisms could preserve exercise capacity in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction. We evaluated exercise capacity using a treadmill exercise test in 26 patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction defined by a left ventricular ejection fraction of 30% or le...
متن کاملComplete revascularization in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction.
OBJECTIVE This study evaluates whether patients with coronary artery disease and severely depressed left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) benefit from complete revascularization by multivessel coronary artery bypass. METHODS From April 1994 to May 2002, 42 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at our institution had impaired left ventricular (LV) function [an eject...
