1 Neurohormonal response to left ventricular reconstruction surgery in ischemic cardiomyopathy 
Soren Schenk, MD, Patrick M McCarthy, MD, Randall C Starling, MD, MPH, Katherine J Hoercher, RN, Melanie D Hail, BSN, Yoshio Ootaki, MD, PhD, Gary S Francis, MD, Kazuyoshi Doi, MD, James B Young, MD, Kiyotaka Fukamachi, MD, PhD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 128, Issue 1, Pages (July 2004) DOI: /j.jtcvs

2 Figure 1 NYHA functional class (mean) before and after surgery (n = 15). Time of postoperative follow-up varied from 3 months (5 patients) to 12 months (10 patients). No difference was observed between groups. NYHA FC, New York Heart Association functional class. The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  , 38-43DOI: ( /j.jtcvs )

3 Figure 2 NE, A-II, and PRA profiles before and after surgery (n = 10). Considerable improvements of neurohormones were observed during follow-up. Of note, patient 6 experienced only a modest decrease of norepinephrine, corresponding to an improvement of NYHA class IV before surgery to class III at 1 year after surgery.
