Key result
Surgical ventricular reconstruction is reviewed as a therapeutic strategy to reduce left ventricular volumes and improve cardiac function in patients with ischaemic heart failure.
Why the study?
Does surgical ventricular reconstruction improve outcomes in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular systolic dysfunction?
