Brief Summary

This study evaluates the off-target effect of paroxetine to reverse cardiac remodeling and improve left ventricular ejection fraction in patients after acute myocardial infarction. Half of the partici...

Detailed Description

Cardiac remodeling is characterized by a composite of structural, geometric, molecular, and functional changes of the myocardium, and is an important determinant of heart failure and cardiovascular ou...
