The most common cause of heart failure is coronary artery disease, and whilst intensive
treatment of acute coronary syndromes and myocardial infarction continue to reduce the …

Coronary artery disease is the most common cause of congestive heart failure. More than
70% of the patients with heart failure symptoms have underlying coronary disease, whereas …

A very large body of evidence—predominantly retrospective—suggests that
revascularization is superior to optimal medical therapy in patients with a significant amount …

Left ventricular (LV) function is one of the most important determinants of long-term outcome
in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Patients with normal or near-normal LV …

Hibernating myocardium refers to the presence of persistent myocardial and left ventricular
dysfunction at rest due to reduced coronary blood flow that can be partially or completely …

Hibernating myocardium is defined as persistently impaired myocardial and left ventricular
(LV) function at rest resulting from reduced myocardial blood flow. It may occur in unstable …

Although congestive heart failure (CHF) is a common syndrome among the elderly, there is
a relative paucity of population-based data, particularly regarding CHF with normal systolic …

Background: Most patients with heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction
(LVSD) secondary to coronary artery disease (CAD) have evidence of myocardium in …

In 1973 Chatterjee and colleagues, on the basis of clinical observations, suggested that a
