Atsushi Yamaguchi (2016) conducted a review in Ischemic cardiomyopathy (n=1,212). Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) vs. Medical therapy was evaluated on 10-year survival rate (p=<0.02). Coronary artery bypass grafting significantly improved the 10-year survival rate to 41% compared to 34% with medical therapy in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and an ejection fraction < 35%.
