TL;DR
In this cross-sectional study of asymptomatic individuals, concentric left ventricular remodeling was related to decreased regional systolic function, which was more pronounced in the left anterior descending coronary artery territory and may reflect the local transition from compensatory remodeling to myocardial dysfunction.
Abstract
In this cross-sectional study of asymptomatic individuals, concentric left ventricular remodeling was related to decreased regional systolic function. The reduction in regional function, which was more pronounced in the left anterior descending coronary artery territory, may reflect the local transition from compensatory remodeling to myocardial dysfunction.

388 Citations2001Jan Bogaert, Frank Rademakers
The regional contribution of the LV wall to the ejection of blood is thus highly variable and is not fully characterized by wall thickening alone, and differences in regional LV architecture and probably local stress are possible explanations for this marked functional nonuniformity.
