Abstract
The results reported here are consistent with previously described ex vivo biaxial extension studies of infarct material properties and the circumferential change of collagen orientation in posterolateral infarcts. The current study represents a significant advance in that the method used allows for the serial assessment of an individual infarct in vivo over time and avoids the inherent limitations related to the testing of excised tissues.
