“…On the other hand, the analysis of the Medtronic multicenter data failed to demonstrate any significant change in exercise performance after dynamic cardiomyoplasty (2). Similar results were also reported in a single series of patients without important preoperative physical limitation (23,30,31). Nevertheless, significant improvement of maximal oxygen consumption (peak V o 2 ) was documented in patients with preoperative peak V o 2 of less than 14 ml/kg −1 /min −1 (30).…”

“…Despite a notable improvement in NYHA class usually from III or higher to II or lower has been reported worldwide [3,9,[18][19][20], the enhancement of systolic contraction has been only suggested by improvement of stroke volume [21] and lowmoderate increase in ejection fraction limited at the early follow-up [22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. A summary of the worldwide results is shown in Table 1.…”

The dynamic cardiomyoplasty provide an active girdle effect by the wrap of the electrostimulated left latissimus dorsi muscle around the heart. The technique has been almost abandoned in the last five years because the chronic continuous electrical stimulation degenerates the muscle, lowering the long-term results of the intervention. An activity-rest stimulation protocol, which avoid full transformation of the skeletal muscle, maintaining muscular properties overtime, has been proposed showing in humans good results in term of NYHA class, EF and survival improvement. The debate about the capability of this unique kind of cardiocirculatory bio-assist is virtually open: the economic and cost-saving demand dynamic cardiomyoplasty avoiding immunosuppression therapy, extracorporeal circulation equipment and expensive follow-up, probably will be still alive.

“…Limited heart dilatation and enhanced systolic contraction are the two principal hypotheses on the mech-anism of DCMP [8][9][10]17]. Despite a notable improvement in NYHA class usually from III or higher to II or lower has been reported worldwide [3,9,[18][19][20], the enhancement of systolic contraction has been only suggested by improvement of stroke volume [21] and lowmoderate increase in ejection fraction limited at the early follow-up [22][23][24][25][26][27][28].
