ischemic left ventricular dysfunction, death, arrhythmias
ARRHYTHMIAS, SUDDEN DEATH, ISCHEMIC CARDIOMYOPATHY
In patients with ischemic left ventricular dysfunction, a strategy of PCI plus OMT was not associated with a reduction in death or aborted sudden death compared with a strategy of OMT alone. Patients with stable ischemic cardiomyopathy should not undergo PCI solely to reduce the burden of arrhythmias, and in patients who are eligible for an ICD, implantation does not need to be deferred until revascularization has been performed.
