OBJECTIVE To analyze left ventricle performance after myocardial revascularization associated to ventricular geometrics restoration by "pacopexy" in schemic myocardiopathy patients with significant ventricular dysfunction in whom ventricular restoration was obtained through special technique. METHODS Myocardial revascularization associated to ventricular geometrics restoration through special...

background: there are some conflicting results with conventional coronary artery bypass grafts (ccabg) with arrested heart in coronary high-risk patients. moreover, performing off-pump cabg in these cases may be associated with serious complications. the objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the on-pump beating cabg (opbcabg) in coronary high-risk patients in comparison with th...

BACKGROUND The prevalence and clinical outcomes of heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction after acute myocardial infarction have not been well elucidated. OBJECTIVE To analyze the prevalence of heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction in acute myocardial infarction and its association with mortality. METHODS Patients with acute myocardial infa...
