Coronary stenosis and left ventricular function - Major prognostic factors in patients with ischemic heart disease: Has something changed in the era of “precision medicine”?

In this issue of International Journal of Cardiology publication, “Prognostic impact of residual stenosis (RS) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ischemic heart failure (HF) – a report from the CHART-2 study” (NCT00418041) by Hao et al. [1], in a large prospective hospital-based study, it was shown that in 851/1307 (65.1%) post-P CI patients, who had RS ≥70% with symptomatic HF in the median follow-up period of 3.2 years, RS had a clinically significant impact on higher all-cause mortality.
