“…Left ventricular volume reduction, however, may prove beneficial in selected patient populations. Beside important physiological aspects [4], the lack of intraoperative objective parameters for optimizing ventricular reshaping may limit the success of these procedures.…”

“…Mathematical modeling predicts that resection of a dyskinetic scar will lead to a net improvement in cardiac function [27]. Following aneurysm reconstruction, improvements are seen both in myocardial oxygen consumption and myocardial efficiency, which lead to an improvement in the neurohormonal milieu of heart failure [28][29][30][31][32][33]. These changes also directly lead to a net reduction of ventricular wall stress.…”

Heart failure is a tremendous burden on society, and on the health care system in particular. Historically, medical treatments have been the only therapies available because patients were felt to be too high risk to undergo conventional cardiac surgical procedures. Cardiac transplantation remains an established therapy for certain patients with end-stage heart failure but it is limited by donor availability and the need for lifelong immunosuppression. Recent advances in myocardial protection, operative techniques, and perioperative care have made it possible for conventional surgery, such as coronary bypass, ventricular reconstruction, and valve repair, to be offered to many patients with advanced heart failure with good short- and long-term results. In 2005, few patients are inoperable.
