Clinical-functional changes of myocardium after percutaneous coronary interventions in patients with chronic heart failure

The article shows the results of clinical and functional changes in the myocardium in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) after the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The study aimed to evaluate the results of clinical and functional changes in the left ventricular myocardium in patients with CHF after transluminal balloon angioplasty (TLBAP) of the coronary arteries with stenting of the coronary arteries during the observed period and to study the safety of surgical intervention in these patients. During the year, 96 patients with chronic heart disease (CHD) were observed in the age range from 40 to 70 years who had CHF I, IIA, IIB stages, from I to III functional class. All patients with clinical indications and coronary angiography (CAG) data were routinely performed TLBAP with stenting of a symptom-dependent coronary artery with appropriate medication. The study showed a statistically significant decrease in the functional class of CHF after percutaneous coronary intervention, followed by an improvement in the diastolic function (E/A) of the LV in the course of the observed period.
