Left ventricular remodeling after acute myocardial infarction with microvascular obstruction
Accurate assessment of myocardial function and determinants of adverse functional outcome after acute myocardial infarction are essential in further therapeutic management of affected patients. Although echocardiography is most commonly used for this purpose, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is emerging as an important diagnostic tool in the evaluation of ischemic heart disease. The adva...
متن کامل[Left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction].
Left ventricular remodeling describes a number of geometric and structural changes that the left ventricle undergoes after myocardial infarction. Briefly, it comprises expansion of the infarct and dilatation of the healthy left ventricular segments. Its severity is related to the infarct size. These changes in ventricular geometry, in particular the dilatation, influence the long-term incidence...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Remodeling After Myocardial Infarction
Left ventricular remodeling is the process by which ventricular size, shape, and function are regulated by mechanical, neurohormonal, and genetic factors.1,2 Remodeling may be physiological and adaptive during normal growth or pathological due to myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, hypertension, or valvular heart disease (Figure 1). This article will review postinfarction remodeling, pathoph...
متن کاملHeart failure and left ventricular remodeling after reperfused acute myocardial infarction in patients with hypertension.
In the thrombolytic era, hypertension has been shown to adversely affect the development of heart failure after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We sought to examine the relation between antecedent hypertension and heart failure after mechanical reperfusion and to test the impact of postinfarction left ventricular remodeling on heart failure in hypertensive patients. A series of 953 patients ...
متن کاملVentricular Remodeling After Canine Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background Prolonged nitrate therapy during healing between 2 days and 6 weeks after anterior myocardial infarction has the potential for limiting further left ventricular remodeling (or changes in topography) and preserving function. Longterm therapy throughout healing over 6 weeks might be more beneficial than short-term therapy over the first 2 weeks after infarction. Methods and Results The...
