Key result
Myocyte apoptosis in hibernating myocardium negatively predicted 1-year left ventricular ejection fraction recovery after coronary artery bypass surgery (beta=-0.973, p=0.002).
Why the study?
Does myocyte apoptosis influence left ventricular functional recovery in patients with hibernating myocardium undergoing CABG?
Observational (n=21)

Myocyte apoptosis is an important phenomenon in hibernating myocardium that negatively predicts left ventricular functional recovery 1 year after surgical revascularization.

Apoptosis in hibernating myocardium was associated with poorer LVEF recovery after CABG; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Angelini et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Hibernating myocardium (n=21). Myocyte apoptosis was evaluated on 1-year left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (beta=-0.973, p=0.002). Myocyte apoptosis in hibernating myocardium negatively predicted 1-year left ventricular ejection fraction recovery after coronary artery bypass surgery (beta=-0.973, p=0.002).
