Changes in overall ventricular myocardial architecture in the setting of a porcine animal model of right ventricular dilation

Abstract Background Chronic pulmonary regurgitation often leads to myocardial dysfunction and heart failure. It is not fully known why secondary hypertrophy cannot fully protect against the increase in wall stress brought about by the increased end-diastolic volume in ventricular dilation. It has be...
