title: [Coronary angioplasty and stenting in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy].
abstract: Multiple coronary artery atherosclerotic lesions are a major cause of ischemic cardiomyopathy. Myocardial revascularization in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy in the presence of the viable myocardium and/or ischemic areas leads to improved central hemodynamic parameters and as a consequence to better quality of life and prognosis as a whole. The paper describes a clinical case of successful coronary artery angioplasty and stenting in a patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Following 8 months, there was a considerable improvement in the patient's general condition, an increase in left ventricular ejection fraction, and a reduction in cardiac cavity sizes.
