Abstract:Objectives
The objectives of this study were to test the hypothesis that end-systolic volume (ESV), as a marker of severity of left ventricular (LV) remodeling, influences the relationship between myocardial viability and survival in patients with coronary artery disease and LV systolic dysfunction.
Background
Retrospective studies of ischemic LV dysfunction suggest that severity of LV remodeling determines whether myocardial viability predicts improved survival with surgical (CABG) compared to medical (MED)… Show more
“…CMR may also be used for the assessment of myocardial ischaemia and viability in patients with HF and CAD (considered suitable for coronary revascularization). However, limited evidence from RCTs has failed to show that viability assessed by CMR or other means identified patients who obtained clinical benefit from revascularization …”

“…Ograniczona liczba dowodów z RCT nie pozwoliła jednak na udokumentowanie klinicznych korzyści z rewaskularyzacji u pacjentów, u których żywotność mięśnia sercowego została oceniona w CMR [105][106][107].…”
“…Bo now et al reported that absence of viability with LV remodeling (end-systolic volume index > 84 ml/m 2 ) predicts the highest mortality regardless of treatment. However, combination of viability and LV remodeling did not influence the effect of CABG relative to medical therapy in STICH cohort [30].…”
