BACKGROUND: The utility of performing early myocardial revascularization among patients presenting with inducible myocardial ischemia and low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is currently unknown. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we sought to assess the relationship between stress-induced myocardial ischemia, revascularization, and all-cause mortality (ACM) among patients with normal vs low LVEF. METHODS: We evaluated 43,443 patients undergoing stress-rest single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging from 1998 to 2017. Median follow-up was 11.4 years. Myocardial ischemia was assessed for its interaction between early revascularization and mortality. A propensity score was used to adjust for nonrandomization to revascularization, followed by multivariable Cox modeling adjusted for the propensity score and clinical variables to predict ACM. RESULTS: The frequency of myocardial ischemia varied markedly according to LVEF and angina, ranging from 6.7% among patients with LVEF ≥55% and no typical angina to 64.0% among patients with LVEF <45% and typical angina (P < 0.001). Among 39,883 patients with LVEF ≥45%, early revascularization was associated with increased mortality risk among patients without ischemia and lower mortality risk among patients with severe (≥15%) ischemia (HR: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.52-0.95). Among 3,560 patients with LVEF <45%, revascularization was not associated with mortality benefit among patients with no or mild ischemia, and was associated with decreased mortality among patients with moderate (10%-14%) (HR: 0.67; 95% CI: 0.49-0.91) and severe (≥15%) (HR: 0.55; 95% CI: 0.38-0.80) ischemia. CONCLUSIONS: Within this cohort, early myocardial revascularization was associated with a significant reduction in mortality among both patients with normal LVEF and severe inducible myocardial ischemia and patients with low LVEF and moderate or severe inducible myocardial ischemia.
