Abstract Angiographic, Doppler-echocardiographic and hemodynamic studies early (+6 days) and late (+180 days) after partial left ventriculectomy (PLV) on 24 patients revealed that PLV decreased end-systolic volume (or dimension) more than the end-diastolic volume (or dimension), improving stroke volumes (or contractile excursion), and doubling ejection fraction (or fractional shortening). Results of PLV appeared to depend on a balance between improved systolic contractility and reduced diastolic performance. All these survivors had improved diastolic relaxation, suggesting myocardial viability is a prerequisite for PLV to be successful.
