Highlights of research articles supporting different biomarkers for the prediction of reverse remodeling. CHF: chronic heart failure; HFrEF: heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, LV: left ventricle; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction, LVEDVi: left ventricular end-diastolic volume index, LVESVi: left ventricular end-systolic volume index; RR: reverse remodeling
