Is Detection of Hibernating Myocardium Necessary in Deciding Revascularization in Systolic Heart Failure?
چکیده انگلیسی

Although the prognosis of systolic heart failure, also called heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, has improved with advances in therapy, the prognosis remains poor in patients who become refractory to such therapies. That cardiac transplantation improves the quality of life and survival of such patients has been established, but it is available to a very small number of patients. Thus, newer pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic therapies for patients with refractory systolic heart failure are being explored. Because chronic ischemic heart disease is the most common cause of systolic heart failure, potential exists for revascularization therapy. Although revascularization can be performed with low procedural mortality, improvement in left ventricular function, relief of symptoms, and long-term prognosis appear to be related to the presence and extent of viable ischemic hibernating myocardium. In conclusion, the detection of hibernating myocardium is highly desirable before revascularization treatment is undertaken.
