Most patients survive acute myocardial infarction (MI). Yet this encouraging development
has certain drawbacks: heart failure (HF) prevalence is increasing and patients affected tend …

Heart failure is not a distinct disease, but rather a complex clinical syndrome that can result
from virtually any form of heart disease. The so-called “end stages” of heart failure do not …

Left ventricular remodelling after acute myocardial infarction, through long-term left
ventricular chamber dilatation and increased wall stress can result in alteration of the …

Background: A major advance in understanding the pathophysiology of the heart failure
syndrome has been an understanding of the process of left ventricular (LV) remodeling. After …

Anterior myocardial infarction produces abrupt left ventricular (LV) dysynergy and global
systolic dysfunction. Rapid intense neurohumoral activation, infarct expansion, and early …

Left ventricular (LV) remodelling remains an important treatment target in patients after
myocardial infarction (MI) and chronic heart failure (CHF). Accumulating evidence has …

ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains a significant source of
morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite advances in treatment leading to a significant …

Left ventricular (LV) remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been well
described in previous studies. However, there is a paucity of data on the incidence of and …

During the past two decades, it has become increasingly well acknowledged that a large,
transmural acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may result in complex alterations in the …

Early reperfusion of totally occluded coronary arteries with thrombolysis and/or
