Because life expectancy and the prevalence of risk factors such as hypertension, obesity and diabetes are rising globally, heart failure (HF) is growing into a major health problem. Impairment of left ...

In patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery for ischemic cardiomyopathy, adjunctive cardiac shockwave therapy (SWT) improved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the ...
