TCI values in normal and infarcted hearts . (A-F) HA curves in normal human, normal sheep, and the remote zone of infarcted sheep hearts. In the normal hearts, the median HA curve (gray) has a symmetric arrangement around its zero-crossing in the midmyocardium. In the remote zone, all three HA curves are markedly shifted to the right (more positive HA). (G-H) TCI values in the lateral wall of normal human, sheep, and rat hearts, and the remote zone of infarcted sheep hearts. The TCI remains high in the remote zone, confirming the reorganization of myofiber architecture.
