“…However, in multivariable analysis, angina class had no significant association with long-term survival. This differs from prior reports, in which increased mortality correlated with severity of angina in stable outpatients (17), and improvements in left ventricular function following CTO PCI correlated with angina severity (18).…”

“…There are also improvements in clinical outcomes such as reduced incidence of MI, reduced need for CABG, and significant reductions in angina burden after CTO PCI (7,23). Improvements in regional and global wall motion are evident on myocardial perfusion scintigraphy, echocardiography, and left ventriculography following PCI of CTO (18,24,25). Positive effects on left ventricular remodeling have been reported in patients undergoing cardiac magnetic resonance imaging up to 3 years after CTO PCI (26).…”

“…Previous study reveals that PCI significantly improved both the local and global function of the left ventricle in CTO patients [34]. Such procedure is beneficial for the symptom in selected patients [35].…”

“…Only one randomized‐controlled trial (RCT) was identified . Thirty‐four observational studies [including two abstracts ] with a total of 2804 patients met our inclusion criteria . Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) was used to assess LVEF in nine studies while echocardiography was used in 10 studies .…”
