The influence of successful aortocoronary artery bypass surgery on left ventricular asynergy
and dysfunction was studied by hemodynamic and angiographic methods in 29 patients with …

Although it is well established that coronary revascularization can reverse exercise-induced
ischemic dysfunction, the effects on resting ventricular performance are controversial. From …

Changes in myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function were evaluated pre-and post-
operatively (3--6 months) in 14 patients with unstable angina who underwent coronary artery …

Left ventricular segments with reversible asynergy at rest demonstrate reversible myocardial

In six patients with the" preinfarction syndrome" due to high-grade proximal occlusion of the
left (five cases) or right (one case) coronary arteries, left ventricular function was evaluated …

The effect of coronary artery bypass grafts on left ventricular performance was evaluated by
analyzing preoperative (preop) and postoperative (postop) biplane left ventriculograms of 37 …

Left ventricular systolic and diastolic function were studied before and after surgical
revascularization in a group of 24 patients with stable angina who all had an excellent …
