Heart Failure After ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Beyond Left Ventricular Adverse Remodeling

2020, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :There was also no relationship between preoperative LVEF and the development of postoperative congestive heart failure after CABG.11 On the contrary, LV dilatation after myocardial infarction results from expansion of the infarct area, an increase in the proportion of the surface area of the left ventricle occupied by necrotic myocardium with concomitant thinning of the infarcted wall, cavity dilatation, and distortion of the ventricle.16 This finding suggests that a dilated left ventricle reflects irreversible changes in ischemic patients and LV size can be a parameter to predict outcomes.
