CABG vs. PCI in Severe Ischemic Cardiomyopathy

American College of Cardiology

In patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), what is the long-term survival of revascularization associated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)?

Anticoagulation in Post-Operative AFib, Non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes, Arrhythmia-Induced Cardiomyopathy

American College of Cardiology

Eagle looks at anticoagulation for post-operative atrial fibrillation after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting. He then examines a meta-analysis of invasive vs. conservative management of non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes with previous coronary artery bypass grafting.

Use of sacubitril/valsartan early after CABG

Open Heart

Currently, there is no optimal revascularisation strategy for patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy despite suggestions that coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) may be superior to medical therapy in improving survival. However, CABG may be associated with substantial risk in HF subjects.

Temporal Trend in Revascularization for Patients With Ischemic Cardiomyopathy and Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundCurrent guidelines recommend revascularization in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). Joinpoint regression and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the annual percentage change in trends and predictors of the 30‐day mortality rate, respectively.

Abstract 4139913: Obstructive sleep apnoea predicts a worse survival in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy following septal myoectomy

Circulation

Background:Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is highly prevalent in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM), and the severity of OSA appears to worsen following septal myoectomy. The proportion of coronary artery bypass graft and valvular intervention were comparable between patients with and without OSA.
