Ott, David A.

RESUMO

One hundred fifty patients underwent radionuclide left ventricular performance studies before and one week after resection of a left ventricular aneurysm. The patients were classified according to pre-and postoperative ejection fraction into five classes as follows: Class I > 50%, Class II = 41%-50%, Class III = 31%-40%, Class IV = 21%-30%, and Class V = < 21%. They were also classified into groups according to the size of the aneurysm and wall thickness.
