IMPACT OF SURGICAL VENTRICULAR RECONSTRUCTION ON SPHERICITY INDEX IN PATIENTS WITH ISCHEMIC CARDIOMYOPATHY: FOLLOW-UP FROM STICH TRIAL

Sphericity index (SI) is a well-known predictor for the geometrical change of the left ventricle (LV) and long-term survival. We sought to evaluate how baseline SI affected clinical outcome and was altered after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) with or without surgical ventricular
