Redefining Reverse Remodeling

Reverse Remodeling: Does This Work?

Reverse atrial electrical remodeling: a systematic review.

Atrial remodeling is a term introduced in 1995 to describe alterations in atrial structure or function. Atrial electrical remodeling is characterized by a reduction of refractory period and action potential duration, dispersion in refractoriness, and a reduction in conduction velocity of impulse propagation. Numerous animal and human studies have demonstrated that atrial electrical remodeling i...

Complete reverse remodeling in acute stress cardiomyopathy. Is preserved tissue contractility under stress related to reverse remodeling.

Acute stress cardiomyopathy is the unique disease which represents exaggerated and dysfunctional regions of the same cardiac tissue at the same episode. The impressive clinical course which involves the specific region is the stress-mediated exaggerated function of LV base under acutely developed stress induction. After abolishment of stress induction, dysfunctional part of LV which is the mida...

Electrical, morphological, and ultrastructural remodeling and reverse remodeling in a canine model of chronic atrial fibrillation.

BACKGROUND In patients with recurrent persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), vulnerability to AF persists indefinitely despite presumed completion of reverse electrical remodeling within days of return to normal sinus rhythm. Atrial electrical and anatomic remodeling and reverse remodeling were studied in a canine model of chronic AF. METHODS AND RESULTS Chronic AF was induced in 8 dogs by crea...
