What are the benefits of coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with left ventricular dysfunction?
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been demonstrated to have beneficial effects in patients with left ventricular dysfunction, including improved quality of life, improved exercise capacity, decreased risk of recurrent myocardial infarction, and improved survival in some cases. CABG can also improve ejection fraction, decrease left ventricular end diastolic pressure, and reduce left ventricular remodeling. In addition, CABG can reduce symptoms such as angina, and improve functional capacity.
