Abstract

Cardiovascular disease and particularly ischemic disorders of the heart are the leading causes of death in Western countries. In 1996 the total mortality in Germany was 882,843; 9.7% died of acute myocardial infarction and 10.7% of congestive heart failure, which is mainly related to ischemic cardiomyopathy occurring after myocardial infarction. Depending on the severity of the disease (New York Heart Association classification) current treatment strategies include bypass operation and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and stunt implantation. Progressive heart failure related to ischemic cardiomyopathies can ultimately only be treated by transplantation.
