Abstract

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is highly prevalent in patients with heart failure (HF) and accounts for nearly two-thirds of cases. The use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in HF patients with CAD has markedly increased and has been suggested to be associated with improved outcomes in numerous observational studies. Randomized data comparing the impact of PCI with that of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or contemporary guideline-directed medical therapy alone on clinical outcomes and myocardial recovery in patients with HF are lacking. The purpose of this review is to describe the available evidence regarding the impact of PCI in acute HF (in the presence and absence of an acute coronary syndrome), chronic HF with reduced ejection fraction, and HF with preserved ejection fraction. Adequately-powered randomized clinical trials examining the outcomes with PCI in these distinct HF populations are warranted.

Keywords: coronary artery disease; coronary revascularization; ejection fraction; heart failure; percutaneous coronary intervention.
