Coronary artery bypass surgery as treatment for ischemic heart failure: the predictive value of viability assessment with quantitative positron emission tomography for symptomatic and functional outcome Domenico Pagano, FRCSa, Jonathan N. Townend, MDc, William A. Littler, MDc, Richard Horton, MBChBa, Paolo G. Camici, MD, FACCb, Robert S. Bonser, FRCSa The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Volume 115, Issue 4, Pages (April 1998) DOI: /S (98) Copyright © 1998 Mosby, Inc. Terms and Conditions

Fig. 1 Correlation between the number of viable dysfunctional LV segments and the absolute changes in LVEF (δ-EF). The equation for this relationship is Y = 1.2X + –3.97. The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery , DOI: ( /S (98) ) Copyright © 1998 Mosby, Inc. Terms and Conditions

Figure 3 ROC curve demonstrating the sensitivity-specificity pairs for the number of PET-viable segments required to obtain improvements in LVEF greater than 5 percentage points after CABG. The arrow indicates the operator point associated with the best tradeoff between sensitivity (88%) and specificity (75%). The area fitted under the curve is 75% (trapezoid rule).

Fig. 4 Exercise data for CHF–no-angina patients. Anaerobic threshold was achieved in all cases at baseline and at the follow-up study. The respiratory exchange ratio at peak exercise before CABG was 1.12 ± 0.07 and 1.1 ± 0.07 at follow-up. Heart rate at peak exercise was 129 ± 29 beats/min before CABG and 137 ± 18 beats/min at follow-up (p = 0.09). 95% CI = 95% confidence interval of the mean change.
