It is well known that patients with coronary artery disease and viable tissue as a guarantee of contractile recovery (CR), despite of decreasing ejection fraction (EF) and systolic dysfunction, could have benefit from surgical revascularization. Therefore, relationship between diastolic filling type and early postoperative recovery and complications need to be established. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between different left ventricular (LV) diastolic filling types and CR in patients after surgical revascularization with differently preserved systolic function.
