Key result
Hypertrophy of the noninfarcted myocardium post-myocardial infarction correlated significantly with improved resting and exercise ejection fraction (r=0.48, p<0.001).
Why the study?
Does hypertrophy of the noninfarcted myocardium after myocardial infarction correlate with improved ejection fraction in humans?
Observational (n=45)

Effect estimate: r = 0.48
p-value: p=<0.001
Hypertrophy of the noninfarcted myocardium after myocardial infarction is associated with improved resting and exercise ejection fraction, suggesting a compensatory functional role.

Supports compensatory hypertrophy post-MI; extends animal data but leaves open causality and interventions.
Ginzton et al. (1989) conducted an observational in Myocardial infarction (n=45). Hypertrophy of noninfarcted myocardium vs. No hypertrophy was evaluated on Correlation between change in left ventricular mass index and improved resting and exercise ejection fraction (r = 0.48, p=<0.001). Hypertrophy of the noninfarcted myocardium post-myocardial infarction correlated significantly with improved resting and exercise ejection fraction (r=0.48, p<0.001).
