There are different sub categories that fall into the diagnosis of lvh which includes concentric eccentric and concentric remodeling.
What is concentric left ventricular remodeling.
1 4 lv remodeling may be produced by various physiological and pathological mechanisms.
A useful surrogate measure of remodeling is the left ventricular ejection fraction lvef.
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.
Ventricular remodeling may include ventricular hypertrophy ventricular dilation cardiomegaly and other changes.
If remodeling improves the also lvef improves.
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.
