Abstract
The paper analyzes the influence of size and location of myocardial infarction (MI) to the extent of infarct expansion (IE), based on a coupled electromechanical bi-ventricular model of canine. The ventricular motion and distributions of principal strain and stress during systole were used to contrast the effect of IE at different locations and with different sizes. The results showed that IE occured more in anterior wall (AW) near apex than posterior wall (PW), and large transmural MI may contribute a lot to the development of IE, which was in agreement with clinical results.
