Injectable Microsphere Gel Progressively Improves Global Ventricular Function, Regional Contractile Strain, and Mitral Regurgitation After Myocardial Infarction

Calcium hydroxyapatite injection after MI progressively improves global left ventricular function, borderzone function, and mitral regurgitation. Using novel biomaterials to augment infarct material properties is a viable alternative in the current management of heart failure.
