Predictors of Left Ventricular Remodeling after Revascularized Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

Background: The acute loss of myocardium, following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) leads to an abrupt increase in the loading conditions that induces a pattern of left ventricular remodeling (LVR). It has been shown that remodeling occurs rapidly and progressively within weeks after the AMI.
