Factors associated with post-infarction myocardial remodeling

Abstract

This article analyzes the problem of postinfarction myocardial remodeling in the current availability of high-tech methods of coronary revascularization in most countries. The authors discuss both wellstudied factors that determine the transformation of acute myocardial injury into chronic heart failure syndrome and new fundamental ones that determine prognosis and treatment. Used information on the topic from publications over the past five years, based on the PubMed, Google Scholar and Russian Science Citation Index databases.
