The importance of collagen remodeling following myocardial infarction (MI) is extensively investigated, but little is known on the biomechanical impact of fibrillar collagen on left ventricle post-MI. We aim to identify the significant effects of the biomechanics of types I, III, and V collagen on physiopathological changes of murine hearts leading to heart failure. Immediately post-MI, heart reduces its function (EF=40.94 +/- 2.12%) while sarcomeres' dimensions are unchanged. Strikingly, as determined by immunohistochemistry staining, type V collagen fraction significantly grows in remote and scar for sustaining de novo-types I and III collagen fibers' assembly while hindering their enzymatic degradation. Thereafter, the compensatory heart function (EF=63.04 +/- 3.16%) associates with steady development of types I and III collagen in a stiff remote (12.79 +/- 1.09 MPa) and scar (22.40 +/- 1.08 MPa). In remote, the soft de novo-type III collagen uncoils preventing further expansion of elongated sarcomeres (2.7 +/- 0.3 mm). Once the compensatory mechanisms are surpassed, the increased turnover of stiff type I collagen (>50%) lead to a pseudo-stable biomechanical regime of the heart (congruent to 9 MPa) with reduced EF (50.55 +/- 3.25%). These end-characteristics represent the common scenario evidenced in patients suffering from heart failure after MI. Our pre-clinical data advances the understanding of the cause of heart failure induced in patients with extended MI.
