Key result
CABG shows promise for post-ischemic HF with hibernating myocardium, justifying randomized trials.
Why the study?
Heart failure due to coronary artery disease has high mortality despite medical treatment, and the benefits of coronary artery bypass surgery in patients with substantial hibernating myocardium need confirmation by randomized trials.
Does coronary artery bypass surgery improve outcomes in patients with post-ischemic heart failure and hibernating myocardium?
Does coronary artery bypass surgery improve outcomes in patients with post-ischemic heart failure and hibernating myocardium?
Highlights the potential benefit of coronary artery bypass surgery for post-ischemic heart failure with hibernating myocardium and calls for randomized trials to confirm findings from uncontrolled studies.
May warrant consideration in post-ischemic HF with hibernating myocardium; leaves open efficacy without randomized confirmation.

Pagano et al. (1999) conducted a review in Heart failure due to coronary artery disease. Coronary artery bypass surgery was evaluated. Coronary artery bypass surgery shows promise in uncontrolled studies for treating post-ischemic heart failure with hibernating myocardium, justifying the need for a randomized trial.
