Abstract:
We have reported a case of a 55-year-old man who had improvement of both left and right ventricular ejection fractions during rest and exercise after coronary revascularization. Ventricular performance was assessed using radionuclide angiography. Although coronary artery bypass grafting has previously been shown to improve left ventricular function, we believe this is the first report of improved right ventricular function after coronary revascularization.
