Cardiac remodeling, defined as changes in the heart's size, shape, and function due to load or injury, is crucial in heart failure (HF) progression. Influenced by hemodynamic load, neurohormonal activation, and other factors, it involves molecular, cellular, and interstitial changes. Slowing or reversing remodeling has become a goal in HF therapy, with therapeutic agents like ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers showing beneficial effects on remodeling, morbidity, and mortality. While ejection fraction measurement is reliable for initiating HF treatment, its value in ongoing therapy is debated, and the role of imaging techniques like echocardiography or radionuclide imaging in HF management remains unclear. Clinicians understanding the remodeling-HF progression relationship can better inform patients about their disease and treatments.
