Factors influencing left ventricular (LV) remodeling after coronary artery reperfusion, including adaptive changes in the infarcted region and the role of exercise, have not been well defined. The common application of early reperfusion by thrombolysis after acute myocardial infarction lends potential significance to such remodeling, and a rat model with 45 minutes of regional ischemia followed by reperfusion was developed to study these events. We postulated that the effects of reperfusion in altering LV morphology would be further modified by exercise training, including induction of hypertrophic changes in the outer region of the nontransmural infarction.
