Implication

Severe LV dilation and systolic dysfunction predominate in chronic postinfarction HF; leaves open angiography's incremental value over hemodynamics.

Structured PICO

P
Population
50 patients with chronic postmyocardial infarction heart failure
I
Intervention
Quantitative biplane angiocardiography (n=50) and coronary angiography (n=42)
O
Outcome
Left ventricular anatomical and functional abnormalities including mitral regurgitation, localized ventricular contraction abnormality, end-diastolic volume, ejection fraction, cardiac index, and left ventricular end-diastolic pressuresurrogate

In patients with chronic postinfarction heart failure, severe left ventricular anatomical and functional abnormalities are common, but coronary angiographic findings correlate poorly with ventricular hemodynamics.
