title: Contractility changes of the right and ventricular muscle after chronic myocardial infarction.
abstract: Contractility changes and adaptive responses resulting from acute left ventricular (LV) myocardial infarction are not restricted to the LV myocardium. The reduced LV function increased the right ventricular (RV) pressure load and neurohumoral factors, activated by the infarction
