A Novel Method for Quantifying In-Vivo Regional Left Ventricular Myocardial Contractility in the Border Zone of a Myocardial Infarction

Homogeneous contractility is usually assigned to the remote region, border zone (BZ), and the infarct in existing infarcted left ventricle (LV) mathematical models. Within the LV, the contractile function is therefore discontinuous. Here, we hypothesize that the BZ may in fact define a smooth linear...
