Introduction
Remodeling is resulting in molecular, cellular and interstitial changes and manifested clinically as changes in size, shape and function of the heart resulting from cardiac load or injury. Cardiac remodeling is influenced by hemodynamic load, neurohormonal activation , and other factors still under investigation. Medical and device therapies that reduce heart failure morbidity and mortality also lead to decreased left ventricular volume and mass and a more normal elliptical shape of the ventricle. These are due to changes in myocyte size, structure, and organization that have been referred to collectively as reverse remodeling. Moreover, there are subsets of patients whose hearts have undergone reverse remodeling either spontaneously or after medical or device therapies and whose clinical course is associated with freedom from future heart failure events. However right side changes do occur along with reverse remodeling but still under investigation.
