Abstract

Introduction Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), especially of ischemic etiology, is a challenging condition associated with high morbidity and mortality.¹ Patients with HFrEF frequently present with ventricular remodeling and progressive systolic dysfunction, making early identification of significant coronary artery disease (CAD) essential for defining therapy and optimizing prognosis. Triple-vessel CAD involving the left main coronary artery (LMCA) constitutes a high-risk scenario. Guidelines recommend surgical revascularization in most cases, particularly in the presence of pronounced left ventricular dysfunction.² Evidence ...
