Results
Median left EF was 24% (interquartile interval,
18%-30%) before SVR and 37% (29%-46%) after SVR (P<0.001),
median right EF 51% (46%-64)% and 57% (46-63%),
respectively (P=0.860).
The correlation between left and right EF,
not significant before SVR,
became significant after SVR (r=0.447; P=0.012).
The difference in EF (EF after SVR minus EF before SVR) for the right ventricle was significantly correlated with that for the left ventricle overall (r=0.554; P=0.002) and for left anterior descendent occlusion (r=0.837; P=0.005),
only borderline significant for three-vessel occlusion (r=0.554; P=0.068).
Thirteen of 22 patients (59%,
95% confidence interval [CI] 36%-79%) with improved left EF also improved right EF while 7 of 9 patients (78%,
95% CI 40%-97%) with unchanged or worsened left EF had also a worsened right EF (P=0.013).
