Ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) accounts for more than 60 percent of congestive heart failure cases and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Myocardial revascularization in patients with left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) and a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤35 percent) is intended to improve survival and quality of life.
