Thickening of the infarcted wall by collagen injection improves left ventricular function in rats : A novel approach to preserve cardiac function after myocardial infarction

We determined whether collagen implantation could thicken the infarcted left ventricular (LV) wall and improve LV function. We hypothesized that thickening the infarcted wall by using collagen might result in some benefits that are similar to what previously had been reported when the infarcted wall...
