Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 385 consecutive patients (76 % male, 66 +/- 9 years) with SLVD (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] <= 40 %) due to chronic coronary artery disease, who underwent PCI between 1999 and 2009, and explored clinical factors associated with higher risk of death or of a composite of death and hospitalization for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).
Background: Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in patients with ischemic systolic left ventricular dysfunction (SLVD) are routinely performed although their impact on prognosis remains unclear.
