Early Postinfarction Ventricular Restraint Improves Borderzone Wall Thickening Dynamics During Remodeling

Ventricular restraint early after MI improves both contractile function of the BZM and global ventricular remodeling. The dynamics of BZM wall thickening are impaired during remodeling. The CSD significantly improves but does not completely maintain baseline BZM wall thickening dynamics.
