Right ventricular remodeling refers to the structural and functional changes that occur in the right ventricle of the heart in response to various insults or conditions such as pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart defects, or myocardial infarction. These changes can include hypertrophy, dilation, fibrosis, and alterations in contractile function. Research in this area aims to better understand the mechanisms underlying right ventricular remodeling, identify biomarkers for early detection, and develop strategies for prevention and treatment. This research is important because right ventricular dysfunction is a significant predictor of poor outcomes in various cardiovascular diseases, and effective interventions could improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
