Key result
Revascularization in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy significantly reduced the prevalence of a restrictive filling pattern from 38% to 11.5% (P=0.016) and improved diastolic function.

Revascularization may improve diastolic function in ischaemic cardiomyopathy; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
Cohort (n=26)
Does revascularization improve left ventricular diastolic function in patients with chronic ischaemic cardiomyopathy and viable myocardium?
Absolute Event Rate: 11.5% vs 38%
p-value: p=0.016
Revascularization of viable myocardium in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy significantly improves left ventricular diastolic function and filling pressures.
Carluccio et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in Chronic ischaemic cardiomyopathy with viable myocardium (n=26). Revascularization vs. Baseline (pre-revascularization) was evaluated on Restrictive filling (RF) pattern (p=0.016). Revascularization in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy significantly reduced the prevalence of a restrictive filling pattern from 38% to 11.5% (P=0.016) and improved diastolic function.
