Left ventricular (LV) remodelling following acute myocardial infarction has generally been studied in patients with LV ejection fraction (EF) < 40%, and it has been shown that this process can be attenuated by ACE inhibitors. Little is known regarding LV remodelling in patients with LVEF > or = 40% or the effects of treatment in this patient cohort. The DEFIANT II study (Doppler Flow and Echocardiography in Functional cardiac insufficiency) included 542 post-infarction patients with LVEF 25-50% without overt heart failure within 13 days following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). They were then randomized to nisoldipine coat-core (CC) or placebo and followed up for 6 months.
