Objectives: To investigate the hypothesis that prior angina pectoris confers protection from
remodeling occurring after myocardial infarction (MI), we analyzed echocardiograms from …

Background Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is associated with multiple cellular
electrophysiological abnormalities, susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias, and an …

Left ventricular remodeling is a dynamic process that occurs in reaction to an insult to the
myocardium. The response to either loss of cells, as may occur following myocardial …

Background: A major advance in understanding the pathophysiology of the heart failure
syndrome has been an understanding of the process of left ventricular (LV) remodeling. After …

Background In the studies of left ventricular dysfunction (SOLVD), enalapril reduced
mortality in patients with symptomatic but not asymptomatic left ventricular systolic …

Left ventricular (LV) remodelling remains an important treatment target in patients after
myocardial infarction (MI) and chronic heart failure (CHF). Accumulating evidence has …

Left ventricular (LV) remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been well
described in previous studies. However, there is a paucity of data on the incidence of and …

▪ Abstract The loss of myocytes as a consequence of myocardial infarction results in a
prompt reduction in regional wall motion and often leads to more protracted and progressive …

Background—We prospectively evaluated the prevalence, pattern, and prognostic impact of
left ventricular (LV) remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) successfully treated …

Background Left ventricular (LV) remodeling after acute myocardial infarction has still to be
clarified in the thrombolytic era. Methods To evaluate timing and the magnitude and pattern …
