(a) Myofiber stress at ED, in kPa. Because of increased stiffness, the infarcted region seems slightly less stressed than the remote region. (b) Myofiber stress at end-systole, in kPa. Because of reduced contractility, the total stress, which combines both passive and active stresses, is significantly lower in the BZ than in the region remote to the infarct.
