Abstract

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of left ventricular dysfunction (LVD). Conflicting evidence exists with regards to available treatments and patient prognosis. Revascularization may improve ventricular function while coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) has significantly improved survival. The effectiveness of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has also not been thoroughly investigated to date.
