Neurohormonal and Echocardiographic Results After CorCap and Mitral Annuloplasty for Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Adjunctive application of CorCap with RMA correlated with better NT-pro.BNP at short-term follow-up together with slightly improved echocardiographic and functional results. This deserves further evaluation at midterm and long-term follow-up. Reduction of NT-pro.BNP at follow-up may be suggested as a prognostic index.
