title: [Myocardial revascularisation in patients with reduced left ventricular function].
abstract: Myocardial revascularization in patients with reduced left ventricular function remains a challenging clinical decision. The high mortality in these patients has been reduced by the routine use of guidelines-guided medical therapy for heart failure. However, myocardial revascularization additionally reduces cardiovascular mortality and improves functional outcome. Whether percutaneous coronary intervention or bypass surgery is indicated, should be decided individually with respect to comorbidities, morphology of the coronary vessels and the results of viability testing.
