Representation of mid wall ventricular fiber stress as a function of position in the heart. (A) Wall stress with an apical infarct (red is higher stress localized near the infarct). (B) Wall stress with injection of a theoretical gel material at 4 different numbered locations peripheral to the infarct region. (C) The difference in the previous two images. Marked reduction in wall stress is seen due to injection therapy (cooler colors representing reduced stress). (From [28]).
