Adverse left ventricular (LV) remodelling after myocardial infarction (MI) frequently leads to congestive heart failure (CHF). We have previously shown that myocardial beta-adrenoceptor density (beta-ARD) is reduced soon after acute MI and correlates with LV dilatation in the short term. The aim of the present study was to determine whether myocardial beta-ARD measured early after MI was associated with progression to CHF in the long term.

Abstract
Adverse left ventricular (LV) remodelling after myocardial infarction (MI) frequently leads to congestive heart failure (CHF). We have previously shown that myocardial beta-adrenoceptor density (beta-ARD) is reduced soon after acute MI and correlates with LV dilatation in the short term. The aim of the present study was to determine whether myocardial beta-ARD measured early after MI was associated with progression to CHF in the long term.File in questo prodotto:
