30-Year Followup Demonstrates Prolonged Survival Benefit for Second Internal Mammary Artery in Propensity-Matched Groups (EP Video)

Revascularisation resynchronises left ventricular wall motion by restoring the normal activation response to stress, thereby reducing total isovolumic time and normalising peak cardiac output response to stress.

This review aims to provide conceptual framework by selectively presenting recent knowledge and advances in acute heart failure therapies including drugs (inotropes, diuretics) and devices (mechanical assistance, biventricular pacing, ultrafiltration).
