Regional Dysfunction After Myocardial Infarction in Rats [Ventricular Structure and Function]

Conclusions— We have demonstrated a distinct difference in regional work between nonfailing and failing hearts after MI and offer novel insight into the relation between regional function and presence of congestion. Work analysis provided significant added value over strain analysis alone.
