Compared with dog infarcts, rat infarcts exhibited faster healing and infarct collagen deposition and markedly lower infarct collagen. In addition to larger, more transmural, and thinner infarcts, and greater hemodynamic load, the lower infarct collagen in that model might be an important factor in the greater regional remodeling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
