Retrospective, observational analysis of cardiac function associated with global preoperative myocardial scar in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy after coronary artery bypass grafting.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Drawing on accumulated patient data from a hospital database, the goal of this retrospective study was to analyze cardiac function associated with global preoperative myocardial scarring assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance with late gadolinium enhancement (CMR-LGE) in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Methods

A total of 57 patients diagnosed with ICM who underwent isolated CABG at Beijing Anzhen Hospital between September 2017 and September 2019 were enrolled in this retrospective study. All these patients underwent a preoperative CMR-LGE examination. Based on postoperative echocardiography results at 6 months, cases were divided into the following 2 groups: improved cardiac function [a difference of left
