Abstract

Left ventricular (LV) remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) has received much attention because of its severe impact on morbidity and mortality rates. However, the incidence and extent of LV remodeling in a modern infarct population who were offered antiremodeling treatment in compliance with daily clinical practice is unknown. The purpose of this study was to clarify this issue and to evaluate the predictive value of N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). Forty-two patients with a first transmural MI were examined after 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year with blood samples and magnetic resonance imaging. In 12 patients (29%), LV end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) and LV end-systolic volume index (LVESVI) increased by 24% and 22% (P <.0001; P =.01). In 12 patients (29%), LVEDVI and LVESVI decreased by 19% and 23% (P <.0001; P =.0005), whereas the remaining 18 patients (43%) had stable conditions regarding these LV measures. LV ejection fraction at baseline was significantly reduced in all patient categories but was unchanged over time. Elevated NT-proBNP level at baseline was identified as an independent predictor of increase in LVEDVI during follow-up examination (P =.007). A baseline level o...Continue Reading

Cardiac Remodeling

Cardiac remodeling in response to a myocardial infarction is characterized by progressive ventricular dilatation, cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and deterioration of cardiac performance. Discover the latest research on Cardiac Remodeling here.
