Abstract

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of this review is to update the cardiovascular clinician on the current status of surgical therapies aimed at achieving reverse ventricular remodeling. RECENT FINDINGS: Relevant research focusing on mechanical options for reverse ventricular remodeling will be referenced and summarized. SUMMARY: Heart failure is a tremendous burden on society in terms of both lives lost and healthcare costs. Knowledge of both medical and surgical therapies aimed at improving ventricular efficiency and reversing ventricular remodeling should be in the armamentarium of clinicians treating heart failure patients.
