Risk Stratification of Outcomes after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy with Symptomatic Heart Failure

To identify the predictors of all-cause mortality and heart failure (HF) events in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass (CABG) grafting who present with symptomatic HF, and to identify potential stratification variables for future regenerative therapy trials. We retrospectively analyzed data from 90 patients with ICM, left ventricular ejection fraction of ≤ 40
