New strategies for surgical management of ischemic cardiomyopathy

Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy
Gorav Ailawadi, Irving L Kron

Abstract

Ischemic cardiomyopathy affects an estimated 3 million people in the USA and is the most common cause of heart failure. Traditional operations have included heart transplantation, myocardial revascularization, mitral valve repair, left ventricular reconstruction, first-generation left ventricular assist devices and cardiac resynchronization therapy. These operations have become safer in recent times, due to improved technologies. Current technologies and surgical approaches can benefit a significant number of patients. However, there remains a large group of patients in whom traditional approaches can not be offered. Newer generation ventricular assist devices, passive ventricular restraint devices and cellular-based therapies (including skeletal- and bone marrow-derived stem cells) have the potential to be more universal in their applications. Ongoing investigations with each of these modalities will allow surgeons to offer treatment to patients who are not considered surgical candidates at this time.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Cardiac Remodeling

Cardiac remodeling in response to a myocardial infarction is characterized by progressive ventricular dilatation, cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and deterioration of cardiac performance. Discover the latest research on Cardiac Remodeling here.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.
