Computational model predicts paracrine and intracellular drivers of fibroblast phenotype after myocardial infarction
2020, Matrix BiologyCitation Excerpt :Excessive degradation can lead to ventricular dilation and wall rupture due to the loss of structural integrity in the heart wall [13]. Conversely, excessive ECM deposition, particularly in myocardium remote from the infarct, can lead to diastolic dysfunction [14,15]. Many patients with heart failure post-MI have both dilation and fibrosis [1].
Extracellular Matrix in Ischemic Heart Disease, Part 4/4: JACC Focus Seminar
2020, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :The composition of the ECM modulates interactions between pericytes and endothelial cells (112,113); however, the role of such actions in the maturation of infarct microvessels has not been investigated. In the presence of a large MI, massive loss of contractile tissue results in increased ventricular filling pressures, and typically also with progressive fibrotic changes in viable myocardial segments (114). The deposition of interstitial collagen in the noninfarct zone is attributed to the pathophysiological effects of pressure and volume loads, and may be dependent on neurohumoral pathway activation (115).

2017, Magnetic Resonance ImagingCitation Excerpt :Regions-of-interest (ROIs) were drawn in this region that matched the location of the specimens in histopathology. Despite being comprised of both normal and infarcted myocardium, this region has been shown to develop fibrosis several days after MI with impairment of energy metabolism and myocardial function [28,29]. Non-contrast T1ρ, native T1, mFI, and MBF in these ROIs were then measured on the corresponding maps.
