Abstract

Understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in ventricular remodeling is of the utmost importance for the clinical cardiologist. In the near future this knowledge will allow us not only to better understand the evolution of patients suffering from this process but also to design new therapeutic strategies for the prevention of ventricular remodeling. In this work some of the main pathophysiological mechanisms involved in ventricular remodeling are briefly reviewed.
