Direct Results of Coronary Bypass Grafting of Patients With the Reduced Myocardial Contractility in Terms of Myocardial Perfusion Scintigraphy and Echocardiography

Abstract

This article provides an analysis of the results of surgical treatment of patients with various forms of coronary artery disease, the study of the quality and reliability of myocardial revascularization, assessment of patency and functional viability of coronary grafts in the early postoperative period using echocardiography and myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. The retrospective material of our study is based on the results of surgical treatment of 130 patients with coronary artery disease who were operated on in the IHD department over the past year. All patients underwent examination according to a standard protocol: electrocardiography, 24-hour Holter monitoring, selective coronary ventriculography and shuntography, echocardiography, perfusion scintigraphy before and after surgery, drug stress test to assess myocardial perfusion and contractility and its differentiation (ischemia, scarring) with hypoperfusion.
