Representative examples of post-mortem, long axis sections taken from sheep left ventricles to assess regional myocardial thickness. Panel A is from a normal uninfarcted heart. Panel B is from a treated heart 8 weeks after injection of the tissue filler material and Panel C is from and untreated control heart 8 weeks after infarction. The black arrows in Panel B indicate were thickness measurements were made. Note the preservation in thickness of the apical region in the treated heart and the profound thinning experienced in the untreated heart.
