Increasing infarct stiffness (decreased compliance) improves left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volume (EDV), LV end-diastolic pressure (EDP), ejection fraction (EF), and LV oxygen consumption (LVO2) in the stroke volume (SV) compensated model of a 20% infarct. SV and peak systolic pressure are maintained in the compensated model. Normal = preinfarction values.
