Cardiac fibrosis and cellular hypertrophy decrease the degree of reverse remodeling and improvement in cardiac function during left ventricular assist

Background This study investigated if the degree of cardiac fibrosis and myocyte size at the time of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation predicts the degree of improvement in cardiac function and sustained recovery after LVAD explantation. Methods The study included 34 patients who un...
