Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Reverse Remodeling After Coronary Revascularization in Ischemic Heart Disease – Morphologic Evaluation

Background:Coronary revascularization has been shown to induce left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling (RR). The serial morphologic changes in enhanced necrotic tissue during RR on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) have not been investigated.Methods and Results:This retrospective study inclu...

Description
Summary:Background:Coronary revascularization has been shown to induce left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling (RR). The serial morphologic changes in enhanced necrotic tissue during RR on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) have not been investigated.Methods and Results:This retrospective study included 26 patients with severe LV systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction [EF], 6 months after surgical revascularization. Of 26 patients, 20 had a reduction of ≥10% in end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes (classified as RR group). The RR group had improvement in EF after revascularization (28.8±6.6% vs. 40.6±7.8%, P
