The surviving myocardium initially compensates the loss of injured myocardium after myocardial infarction (MI) and gradually becomes progressively dysfunctional. There have been limited studies of the influence of infarct size on temporal and spatial alteration of myocardium during progressive myocardial remodeling. MI with three infarct sizes (15%, 25% and 35% of left ventricular wall) was created in an ovine infarction model. The progressive LV remodeling over a 12 week period was studied. Echocardiography, sonomicrometry, histological and molecular analyses were carried out to evaluate cardiac function, regional tissue contractile function and structural remodeling, and regional cardiomycyte hypertrophy and calcium handling proteins. The 15%, 25% and 35% MI groups at 12 weeks after MI had normalized LV end diastole volumes of 1.4±0.2, 1.7±0.3 and 2.0±0.4 mL/Kg, normalized end systole volumes of 1.0±0.1, 1.0±0.2 and 1.3±0.3 mL/Kg and LV ejection fractions of 43%±3%, 42%±6% and 34%±4%, respectively. They all differed from a sham group (p<0.05). All the three MI groups exhibited larger wall areal expansion (remodeling strain), larger cardiomyocyte size and altered expression of calcium handing proteins in the adjacent myocardium compared to the remote counterpart from the infarct. Significant correlation was found between myocardiocyte size and remodeling strain in the adjacent zone. A comparative analysis among the three MI groups showed that a larger infarct size (35% vs. 15% MI) was associated with larger remodeling strain, impairment severity of cellular structure and composition, and regional contractile function at regional tissue level and LV cardiac function at organ level.
