مستخلص: The article studies the difficult situation of opting revascularization as a treatment to heart failure. Despite the advances in other fields of medicine, the treatment for severe heart troubles remains poor. The cardiac resynchronization therapy has been recently introduced as a treatment modality, but other modalities remain investigational. Perioperative deaths in older patients undergoing coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) has raised doubts over this process.
