Key Points

  • The study aims to investigate the impact of acute myocardial ischemia on left ventricular function and assess the effects of aortocoronary bypass.
  • Evaluated left ventricular function in six patients with preinfarction syndrome.
  • Included cases of high-grade proximal occlusion in coronary arteries.
  • Assessed functional changes post aortocoronary saphenous-vein bypass.
  • Improvement in left ventricular function was observed after surgery.
  • Acute myocardial ischemia was shown to significantly affect heart performance.
  • Clinical outcomes indicated recovery of cardiac function in all cases evaluated.

Abstract

Abstract In six patients with the preinfarction syndrome due to high-grade proximal occlusion of the left (five cases) or right (one case) coronary arteries, left ventricular function was evaluat...
