Prog Cardiovasc Dis. 2024 Dec 30:S0033-0620(24)00176-2. doi: 10.1016/j.pcad.2024.12.007. Online ahead of print.

Abstract

Ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) is characterized by myocardial dysfunction due to myocardial ischemia, associated with the presence of significant coronary artery disease (CAD). We provide a comprehensive review of the current evidence for coronary revascularization in ICM, including consideration of the different modalities of coronary artery bypass grafting and percutaneous coronary intervention. In addition to a contemporary assessment of the literature, we aim to provide real-world insights and perspectives to guide clinical decision-making in this heterogeneous and complex patient population.
