2008, Journal of the American Society of EchocardiographyCitation Excerpt :The biologic function of ventricular myocardium has been emphasized as a main target of pharmacologic treatment for attenuating ventricular remodeling.11 Our data can be explained by a previously proposed theory that the myocardial contractile reserve reflecting the myocardial biologic function affects the functional recovery.12-14 The precise role of impaired myocardial contractile reserve and mitral closing force in the development of dynamic MR has been emphasized in patients with heart failure.15,16
