Mechanical effects of left ventricular midwall fibrosis in non-ischemic cardiomyopathy

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular (LV) mid-wall fibrosis (MWF), which occurs in about a quarter of patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM), is associated with high risk of pump failure. The mid LV wall is the site of circumferential myocardial fibers. We sought to determine the effect of MWF on...
