Abstract
The focus of this article is to review the process of left ventricular remodeling and discuss the results of several published large clinical trials that have demonstrated the benefit of early intervention in heart failure to prevent left ventricular remodeling and progression of cardiac dysfunction. The knowledge gained from this review should help define a strategy for the internist to initiate therapy early in the course of development of heart failure.
