Unravelling the mysteries of collagen and cicatrix after myocardial infarction

Peter Whittaker

Heart Institute, The Hospital of the Good Samaritan, 1225 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90017, USA

In fictional murder mysteries the person responsible for the crime is often the one least likely to be involved. In contrast, in real life, the culprit is usually the most obvious candidate right from the start. In this particular case, the myocardial collagen matrix is the suspect (and as I shall illustrate, a likely culprit) responsible for at least some of the complications that occur after myocardial infarction.

KEYWORDS collagen; cicatrix; myocardial infarction; scar properties
