Finite element model to assess passive myocardial properties. Representative finite element models of a baseline animal (A) and saline (B) and hydrogel (C) treated animals at 1 and 12 weeks post-MI. The infarct (red) and remote (blue) regions were assigned different myocardial tissue properties. Short axis views taken from roughly the same position at mid-ventricle demonstrate thinning of the infarct region over time (arrows).
