Role of aldosterone in the mid- and long-term left ventricular remodelling after acute myocardial infarction: the REMI study.

Aldosterone concentration in the acute phase was associated with adverse LV remodelling in the mid-term, even in the subgroup of patients with LVEF >40%, suggesting a potential role of the mineralocorticoid system in post-MI adverse remodelling. Plasma aldosterone was no longer associated with LV remodelling in the long-term. (NCT01109225) This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
