ventricular remodeling,

progressive myocardial ventricular dilation, eccentric ventricular hypertrophy, and distortion of left ventricular geometry that persist in the noninfarcted myocardium after a myocardial infarction has healed. It is associated with impaired functional capacity, congestive heart failure, and premature death. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors can limit the ventricular dilation.

Left ventricular diameter reduction Cardiovascular surgery An operative technique for CHF, which consists of excising the flabbiest portion of the dilated ventricle followed by side-to-side anastomosis; VR ↑ the pumping efficiency of the remaining tissue. See Transmyocardial revascularization.

An alternative approach of stem cell delivery to myocardium: combined ... by Nisanci, Yilmaz; Tayyareci, Yelda; Sezer, Murat; Umman, Berrin / The Anatolian Journal of Cardiology (Anadolu Kardiyoloji Dergisi) Conclusions: We conclude that estrogen replacement attenuates post-infarction left ventricular remodeling in the rat, and that this occurs in the absence of a demonstrable hemodynamic effect. Estrogen replacement therapy attenuates post-infarction left ... by Bridgman, Paul G.; Allington, Melanie D.E.; Ikram, Hamid / Journal of Applied Research The primary acute angiographic endpoint was corrected TIMI frame count; the secondary echocardiographic endpoint was left ventricular remodeling defined as an increase in end-diastolic volume [greater than or equal to] 20% 6 months after infarction; and the tertiary endpoint was event-free survival at the 6 month follow-up.
