Evaluation of Left Ventricular Myocardial Work Performance in Patients Undergoing On-Pump and Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery.

CONCLUSION: Despite lower preoperative LV function in OPCAB patients, GMWIs after OPCAB were superior to ONCAB, indicating better preservation of systolic LV function early after OPCAB by means of contractility compared to ONCAB. Further studies should investigate the long-term course of MW response and their clinical impact.
