Observational studies suggest that conventional right ventricular apical pacing may have a deleterious effect on left ventricular function. In this study, we examined whether biventricular pacing ...

and right ventricular remodeling is present in patients with uncomplicated diabetes or prediabetes. 20,21 Potential contributing mechanisms include promotion of myocardial fibrosis, inflammation ...

Background: The purpose of this article is to critically review the data accumulated to date from studies evaluating the hemodynamic and clinical effects of right ventricular apical pacing during ...

For each 1 mmol/L increase in serum phosphorus, the odds of left ventricular hypertrophy more than doubled. Higher serum phosphorus levels are associated with a greater likelihood of with left ...

While desensitization of the β-adrenergic system may affect cardiac contractility, especially during exercise, progressive ventricular remodeling may be the critical mechanism leading to an ...

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate predictors of positive left ventricular (LV) remodeling after active myocarditis (AM). Patients and methods: A database of a high-volume, tertiary cardiology center ...

4, No. 1 (March 2014), pp. 36-44 (9 pages) AbstractThe objective of this study was to assess the effect of pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) on right ventricular (RV) reverse remodeling using magnetic ...

When the workload on the heart increases, the ventricular wall may thicken too, known as cardiac hypertrophy. This is an ...

“From now on, we are preventing many patients from developing such an advanced stage of left ventricular remodeling, so in the future this device is definitely not going to be implanted in the ...
