Background: Left ventricular function early after myocardial infarction (MI) predicts
subsequent clinical outcome. Nevertheless, the relationship between early changes in left …

To determine the effects of acute myocardial infarction on the extent and distribution of
systolic and diastolic wall stress on the surviving myocardium, coronary artery occlusion was …

BACKGROUND The development of heart failure after acute myocardial infarction (MI) may
be related to alterations of left ventricular (LV) structure and function. Pathological LV …

Segmental alterations in left ventricular function are generally present in patients who suffer
an acute myocardial infarction. Regional wall motion abnormalities in left ventricular systolic …

Objective: To test the usage of serial echocardiography in mice with induced myocardial
infarct (MI) and to characterize the mouse model of MI. Methods: C57 mice underwent open …

Ventricular dilatation may have important prognostic implications for the survival of patients
with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. To determine the manner and extent to which the left …

The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between hemodynamic function
and cardiac remodeling post-myocardial infarction (MI) in Sprague–Dawley rats—the most …

After myocardial infarction (MI), there is progressive left ventricular (LV) remodeling and
impaired exercise capacity. We tested the hypothesis that LV remodeling results in structural …

We tested the hypothesis that left ventricular (LV) remodeling late after myocardial infarction
(MI) is associated with myocyte apoptosis in myocardium remote from the infarcted area and …

BACKGROUND Left ventricular enlargement and the development of chronic heart failure
are potent predictors of survival in patients after myocardial infarction. Prospective studies …
