Abstract:
Our understanding of what constitutes "normal" collagen organization in wound healing after myocardial injury and how such organization is achieved is still in its infancy. However, once this knowledge has been obtained, it may suggest methods of enhancing or even optimizing healing, and thus provide us with the possibility of modifying the structural problems responsible for infarct expansion and rupture.
