Why the study?
Does dynamic cardiomyoplasty improve clinical and hemodynamic outcomes in patients with heart failure?
Does dynamic cardiomyoplasty improve clinical and hemodynamic outcomes in patients with heart failure?
Dynamic cardiomyoplasty provides modest overall clinical improvement for heart failure, but may offer striking hemodynamic benefits in a specific subgroup of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Modest confounded evidence precludes practice change; leaves open hemodynamic benefits in dilated cardiomyopathy for targeted trials.
Hill et al. (1989) studied this question.
