The changes in left ventricular (LV) structure and geometry that evolve after myocardial
injury or overload usually involve chamber dilation and/or hypertrophy. Such architectural …

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 …

Natural history studies in heart failure have shown that increases in left ventricular (LV)
volume and LV mass are directly related to future deterioration in LV performance and a less …

Patients with heart failure show a wide variety of alterations in left ventricular (LV) volume,
mass, and function. The purpose of this study was to define the common patterns of LV …

Abnormal left ventricular (LV) geometry, including LV hypertrophy (LVH), is associated with
increased risk of major cardiovascular (CV) events and all-cause mortality and may be an …

The remodeling of the left ventricle occurs as a response to a number of pathophysiologic
events. It commonly occurs after a myocardial infarction as a response to loss of muscle …

In hypertensive populations, left ventricular (LV) geometry, which is characterized by
hypertrophy, predicts cardiovascular outcome. The left ventricle can also alter its shape by …

Ventricular remodeling, first described in animal models of left ventricular (LV) stress and
injury, occurs progressively in untreated patients after large myocardial infarction and in …

Aims Remodelling of the left ventricle (LV) is associated with adverse cardiovascular events,
but the mechanisms of these effects remain undefined. We investigated the relationship of …

Objectives. We sought to analyze the value of echocardiographic left ventricular (LV)
diameters in assessing LV remodeling. Background. LV diameters are easily measured and …
