Case Report
Effect of Coronary Artery Revascularization on Left and Right Ventricular Ejection Fractions During Rest and Exercise*
Abstract
SUMMARYWe have reported a case of a 55-year-old man who had improvement of both left and right ventricular ejection fractions during rest and exercise after coronary revascularization. Ventricular performance was assessed using radionuclide angiography. Although coronary artery bypass grafting has previously been shown to improve left ventricular function, we believe this is the first report of improved right ventricular function after coronary revascularization.This content is limited to qualifying members.
