1 4 lv remodeling may be produced by various physiological and pathological mechanisms.
What is concentric left ventricular remodeling.
If remodeling improves the also lvef improves.
It is an aspect of cardiomyopathy of which there are many types.
Left ventricular lv remodeling and hypertrophy are associated with the development of congestive heart failure chf and an increased incidence of other major cardiovascular events including sudden death.
Left ventricular hypertrophy is a form of cardiac remodeling that causes the heart wall muscle to thicken which leads to an increase in lv mass lvm.
Ventricular remodeling may include ventricular hypertrophy ventricular dilation cardiomegaly and other changes.
Typically as the size of the ventricle increases as it becomes more globular in shape and as the function of the cardiac muscle deteriorates the lvef worsens.
