Left ventricular remodeling is a key determinant of the clinical course and outcome of systolic heart failure. The myocardial renin–angiotensin system (RAS) has been closely linked to the major ...

Today, the wealth of data supporting the efficacy of ACEI therapy in ischemic, postinfectious, and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has led to its first-line use in most patients with ...

Secondary outcomes included HF hospitalization, cardiac death, all-cause death, significant ventricular arrhythmia and evidence of cardiac reverse remodeling such as change in LVEF during follow-up.

It may be the first study to show ACE-inhibitor therapy slowing the progression in patients with MD, preserved LVEF, and myocardial fibrosis by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, researchers say.

Five RCTs including 26,383 patients with MI were identified; 71 of the 13,159 patients receiving ACEIs and 107 of the 13,224 control patients were verified to have CR.

Ft Lauderdale, FL - The CorCap (Acorn Cardiovascular), a polyester jacket for the heart that can resist or reverse the remodeling process in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure ...

“Cardiac remodeling is the main cause of the onset of heart failure after myocardial infarction,” Kamiya said. And myokines , which are peptides or chains of amino acids released by muscle ...

In a new study from Germany, 15 patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) were assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to determine the extent of cardiac remodeling after an average of more than ...
