Ventricular Remodeling In Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
Heart failure in the setting of reduced systolic pump function, if left untreated, is characterized by progressive ventricular dilation and dysfunction. Many of the major advances in pharmacologic treatments for heart failure achieved over the last two decades came with the recognition that this process, referred to as ventricular remodeling, results from abnormal mechanical stress on the myoca...

متن کاملreverse left ventricular apical rotation in dilated cardiomyopathy
conclusions these findings emphasize the potential clinical benefits of therapeutic procedures such as cardiac resynchronization therapy (crt) or apex-sparing volume-reduction surgery in dcm. a better definition of the role and implications of reverse apical torsion in dcm and its importance and effectiveness in making therapeutic decisions like crt implantation requires further studies. case p...
متن کاملProgressive left ventricular remodeling in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and severe left ventricular hypertrophy.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the natural history of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and severe left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) (i.e., maximal left ventricular wall thickness [MLVWT] >/=30 mm) and whether changes in cardiac morphology influence the course of the disease. BACKGROUND Severe LVH is common in young and rare among elderly patients with HCM. T...
متن کاملExtreme reverse remodeling in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy.
R everse remodeling is known to occur in patients with de novo presentations of nonischemic dilated cardiomy-opathy. Predictors include recent onset, female sex, higher left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction by echocardiography at baseline, higher systolic blood pressure, QRS width <120 ms (or absence of left bundle branch block) and normal LV dimensions. Conversely, increased LV size is regar...
