Ventricular remodeling in coronary artery disease

Current Opinion in Cardiology
V Dor, M Di Donato

Abstract

Analyzing 16 recent (1993 to 1997) references devoted to left ventricular aneurysm or wall motion abnormality after myocardial infarct, it appears that 1) cardiologists are on their way to detecting earlier the bad evolution of left ventricular geometry after myocardial infarct, 2) a great number of cardiac surgeons are using the technique of left ventricular reconstruction with circular reorganization of the left ventricular cavity, very often by endoventricular patch; and 3) this advance leads to a modification in the indications for surgery for left ventricular aneurysms or akinesia, either to prevent progressive dilatation, or to improve some apparently hopeless old and large akinesias.

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.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
