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.
What is concentric left ventricular remodeling.
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.
Concentric hypertrophy is due to pressure overload while eccentric hypertrophy is due to volume overload.
Ventricular remodeling may include ventricular hypertrophy ventricular dilation cardiomegaly and other changes.
It is an aspect of cardiomyopathy of which there are many types.
There are different sub categories that fall into the diagnosis of lvh which includes concentric eccentric and concentric remodeling.
1 4 lv remodeling may be produced by various physiological and pathological mechanisms.
