2 Figure 1 Changes in LV size and shape after SVR. The elliptical normal form (A) becomes spherical after anterior septal infarction (B). Size and shape are returned toward a more normal elliptical configuration by placing a patch to exclude the scar and returning nonscarred remote muscle back to its conical form (C).

3 Figure 2 A, Relationship between LV end-systolic volume and mortality. Note (1) that volume is in milliliters, not milliliters per square meter, so that the LV end-systolic volume index would be twice this number if patient size were 2m2 and (2) that volume increase is a surrogate for increased mortality.2 B, Comparison of prognosis in survivors and nonsurvivors in relationship to ejection fraction (solid line is at 35%) and LV end-systolic volume in milliliters. Note that lower LV end-systolic volume at 35% ejection fraction is associated with reduced mortality in survivors compared with increased mortality in nonsurvivors when LV end-systolic volume is higher at 35% ejection fraction.2MI, Myocardial infarction; LVESV, left ventricular end-systolic volume.
