Dynamic cardiomyoplasty has been evaluated in the treatment of severe cardiomyopathies. This report outlines the results of this procedure in 21 patients with dilated or ischemic cardiomyopathy who were in New York Heart Association class III or IV before operation. There were no operative deaths. Patients were followed up for a mean of 17.6 months. Eight patients died during late follow-up, and actuarial survival rates were 73.2% at 1 year and 65.9% at 2 years of follow-up. Functional class improvement was documented in the surviving patients. Furthermore, significant improvement in left ventricular function was demonstrated by radioisotopic angiography and by heart catheterization for more than 2 years after the operation. These studies documented that left ventricular ejection fraction increased as a result of global improvement in regional wall motion. Absence of clinical and hemodynamic improvement after cardiomyoplasty seems to be related to muscle flap ischemic compromise, whereas the patient's condition before operation seems to influence the long-term outcome of cardiomyoplasty.
