Auxetic patch material exhibits systolic thickening and restores pump function in a finite element model of acute myocardial infarction repair

This study uses finite element modeling to evaluate auxetic patch materials for acute myocardial infarction repair, finding that heterogeneous designs can restore LV function without adverse effects.
