If remodeling improves the also lvef improves.
What is concentric left ventricular remodeling.
A useful surrogate measure of remodeling is the left ventricular ejection fraction lvef.
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.
Left ventricular hypertrophy is a form of cardiac remodeling that causes the heart wall muscle to thicken which leads to an increase in lv mass lvm.
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.
There are different sub categories that fall into the diagnosis of lvh which includes concentric eccentric and concentric remodeling.
