Table 1. Scar Size, Morphology, and Collagen Area Fraction.

Morphologic and histologic analysis of tissue sections at 30% transmural depth confirmed a major:minor axis ratio of approximately 2 in elliptical infarcts and provided information on the relative size and collagen content of the various infarcts.
