Abstract

Introduction: Heart remodeling is a complex multifactor process determining the prognosis of the patient with any cardio-vascular pathology. There are convincing observations and conclusions in literature about the formation of concentric remodeling of LV prior to the appearance of any changes in AP [4, 5]. But until now there is no common point of view as to the factors involved in remodeling both the myocardium and the vessels, especially in the absence of the major known causative factor - arterial hypertension. From this perspective the study of relationship between cardiac and vascular remodeling as well as the factors involved in their development, especially in young individuals, is urgent. The aim of this work was a comparative study of characteristic features of intracardiac hemodynamics, daily profile of arterial pressure, daily ECG monitoring data and vegetative regulation in young apparently healthy individuals (18-44 years) with normal heart geometry and those with concentric remodeling of left ventricle. Materials and Methods: Apparently healthy persons aged 18 to 42 years, mean age 25.3±0.6 years, were included in the study. There were 56 males (73.7%) and 20 females (26.36%). All participants of the study were d...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.
