Revascularization for patients with severe coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction

Tapas Ghose et al. Curr Cardiol Rep. 2006 Jul.

Abstract

Heart failure is becoming increasingly prevalent, and currently coronary artery disease (CAD) is the primary cause of left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. A potential therapeutic option for patients with severe CAD and LV dysfunction is a strategy of revascularization. In this review, we summarize the available literature regarding revascularization for these patients. The literature suggests that patients with severe CAD and LV dysfunction may benefit from revascularization and those patients with viable myocardium may derive the most benefit.
