Figure 1 Parameters used to assess circumferential changes in infarct territory over time. Expansion index = x/y (measured from the midpoints of the papillary muscles); thinning ratio = a/b; endocardial infarct length = Sen; epicardial infarct length = Sep; mean radial infarct thickness = infarct area (solid area)/ Sen.
