Key result
CABG significantly reduced cardiovascular death rates compared to medical therapy alone in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.
Why the study?
Does medical therapy plus CABG reduce death from any cause in patients with left ventricular dysfunction?
Does medical therapy plus CABG reduce death from any cause in patients with left ventricular dysfunction?
In patients with left ventricular dysfunction, adding CABG to medical therapy did not significantly reduce all-cause mortality, but it did lower rates of cardiovascular death and the composite of death or cardiovascular hospitalization.
CABG may lower cardiovascular mortality in left ventricular dysfunction; extends randomized evidence beyond neutral all-cause mortality.
