Infarct Border-Zone Biomechanics After Myocardial Infarction: Linking Mechanotransduction, Fibrosis, and Ventricular Dysfunction
2026-02-28
Abstract excerpt
Myocardial infarction (MI) transforms the left ventricle into a mechanically heterogeneous, evolving composite in which necrotic scar, viable myocardium, edema, microvascular injury, and fibro-inflammatory remodeling coexist. The infarct border zone is the decisive interface of this composite: a region in which surviving myocytes and stressed extracellular matrix (ECM) share load, exchange signals, and progressive...
