Available data on the efficiency of endoventricular circular patch plasty (EVCPP) especially from Asian Indians are limited. The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the efficacy of endoventricular circular patch plasty along with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Patients having ischemic left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction [LV ejection fraction (LVEF)≤25%] with left ventricular dyskinetic or akinetic apical segement [as depicted by two dimensional (2D) echocardiography] were enrolled in the study. They were evaluated for 2D echocardiography and color Doppler parameters as well as functional capacity before surgery and after one, three and six months of surgery. 39 patients (35 males; average age 59 years) were enrolled in the study. There was significant (P
