Kawaguchi and associates [1] reported an interesting issue concerning dynamic cardiomyoplasty. In their heart failure model, cardiomyoplasty increased stroke volume and ejection fraction of the left ventricle, although it had no effect on end-systolic pressure, pressure–volume area, or external work of the left ventricle. Oxygen consumption was derived directly from the left main coronary artery blood flow and the coronary sinus blood flow in their sheep model of dynamic cardiomyoplasty. They showed a reduction in myocardial oxygen consumption and . . . [Full Text of this Article]
