Modulation of left ventricular dilation remodeling with epicardial restraint devices in postmyocardial infarction heart failure.

Current Heart Failure Reports
Veli K TopkaraDouglas L Mann

Abstract

Myocardial infarction initiates progressive changes in the biology of the myocyte and nonmyocyte components of the myocardium, as well as the geometry of the left ventricle. Despite the use of evidence-based strategies to postmyocardial infarction, heart failure supervenes and is attended by an unacceptably high mortality rate. Given that left ventricular (LV) remodeling may contribute independently to disease progression, several innovative approaches have been designed to attenuate and reverse LV remodeling. This review discusses the emerging role of epicardial restraint devices in the treatment of postmyocardial cardiac remodeling.

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.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a congenital cardiomyopathy that is characterized by infiltration of adipose and fibrous tissue into the right ventricle wall and loss of myocardial cells. Primary injuries usually are at the free wall of the right ventricular and right atria resulting in ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias.
