Coronary revascularization is recommended to treat ischemic cardiomyopathy. However, the relations of revascularization-associated ejection fraction (EF) change to subsequent outcomes have not been elucidated. In 10 071 veterans (mean age 67 years; 1% women; 15% non-White) who underwent a first perc...
