Serial cardiac magnetic resonance imaging after surgical coronary revascularization for left ventricular dysfunction.
Serial changes in segmental myocardial function after surgical myocardial revascularization have not been well demonstrated. This study was conducted to evaluate improvements in segmental myocardial function after coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with left ventricular dysfunction. ⋯ One third of segments with a transmural extent of LGE >50% still had a chance for improvement after revascularization, although an inverse correlation was seen between the LGE grade and improvement of segmental myocardial function.
