Has been studied structural-functional characteristics of left Ventricle (LV) Remodeling at Cardiac Chronic Failure (CCF) developed on the Background of Idiopathic dilatative cardiomyopathy (IDC). Has bee revealed the cascade of LV structural-functional remodeling - the reason-result correlation between an increase of LV mass and increase of LV final systolic/diastolic size/volume. Increase in one parameter results in increase of another, but both of them causes reduction of LV ejection fraction. The relative thickness of LV posterior wall is the independent marker of LV remodeling.
