Outcome of left ventricular surgical remodelling after the STICH trial [ADULT CARDIAC]
CONCLUSIONS
Our findings show that patients, who are candidates for LVSR, have mostly akinetic areas and CIMR requiring surgical correction and are severely symptomatic. Severe LVDD is common and, along with emergency status, is the most important risk factor for early and late outcome.
