Robert Russo, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Cardiac MRI Program as well as the Intravascular Imaging Program at Scripps Clinic, is dedicated to clinical excellence, physician and fellowship education, and clinical and basic science research.
Dear Dr. Russo, as a UK PhD student researching the mechanisms underlying diastolic heart failure, can you explain (if you can), how a hypertrophied myocardium eventuallyleads of ventricular dilation? Does this process occur, or is it rather that the ventricle hypertrophies to such an extent that diastole is dramatically impeded with subsequent deterioration of cardiac output. Best wishes
