Noninvasive assessment myocardial viability: Current status and future directions

TL;DR: This review discusses the tracer and CMR imaging techniques, the pooled observational data, the results of clinical trials, and ongoing investigation in the field, and explores the emerging potential of combined PET/CMR imaging for myocardial viability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surgical ventricular restoration for the treatment of heart failure

TL;DR: Surgical ventricular restoration (SVR) is described, which returns the ventricle to a normal volume and shape in ischemic, valvular, and nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy and its integration with left ventricular assist devices and cell therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current Status of Surgical Ventricular Restoration for Ischemic Cardiomyopathy

TL;DR: The historical background and observational data that established a role for surgical ventricular restoration are reviewed, and it is argued that the limitations are such that the study cannot provide any reliable conclusion on the role of SVR.

Coronary Bypass Surgery with or without Surgical Ventricular Reconstruction

TL;DR: Adding surgical ventricular reconstruction to CABG reduced the left ventricular volume, as compared with CABGs alone, however, this anatomical change was not associated with a greater improvement in symptoms or exercise tolerance or with a reduction in the rate of death or hospitalization for cardiac causes.

Left ventricular aneurysm: a new surgical approach.

TL;DR: The group of patients forming this study includes 130 cases of LV reconstruction since 1984, the three main indications for surgery were angina (40%), cardiac failure (35%), arrhythmias (10%).
