Figure 4From: A model to determine the effect of collagen fiber alignment on heart function post myocardial infarctionFitting of material properties to experimental data. The properties of the scar tissue were fit to experimental data obtained by Gupta, et al. 1994 for a 6-week old porcine infarct. (A) The fitting to the circumferential stress resulted in an R2 value of 0.996. (B) The fitting to the longitudinal stress resulted in an R2 value of 0.994.Back to article page
