Ventricular remodeling for preventing future heart failure

I had heart failure due to leaky valves in October 1995 and I am now on several medications (an ace inhibitor, a diurectic, a beta blocker, digitalis, and an anti arrythmic) and I am doing very well and working full time. A heart cath showed that my heart arteries were clean. My heart is very enlarged and my cardiologist suggested that a heart transplant might be in my future.
Will ventricular remodeling ever be offered to someone in fairly good health as a prevention to future heart failure possibly requiring a heart transplant?
