Both adynamic cardiomyoplasty and cardiac binding reduced cardiac enlargement and functional deterioration after rapid pacing, with adynamic cardiomyoplasty appearing to be more effective, perhaps because of the adaptive capabilities of the skeletal muscle wrap. However, cardiac binding is a simpler and less invasive procedure, which may be useful as an adjunct to prevent or delay progressive ventricular dilatation in heart failure.
