PG  - 89-99
AB  - The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of patient management 
      following latissimus dorsi cardiomyoplasty, based on clinical experience with 34 
      patients operated on between 1985 and 1990. Postoperative patient care includes: 
      (1) clinical follow-up, (2) electrostimulation management, and (3) management of 
      complications. The efficacy of cardiomyoplasty is principally evaluated by the 
      quality-of-life before and after cardiomyoplasty (New York Heart Association 
      [NYHA] functional class), number of rehospitalizations due to congestive heart 
      failure, amount of pharmacological support, exercise capacity, postoperative 
      reintegration and adaptation to working life, and late survival.
