00:00 So let's wrap up the video series. 00:03 In a healthy heart that is not experience in MI, the walls of the heart are strong and flexible like we saw in that first drawing. 00:11 The structure of the dead tissue is gradually replaced with granulation tissue and then scar tissue. 00:18 That is really amazing that your body can do that. 00:21 Now because the scar tissue is in contractile the heart is not as efficient and the patient isn't increased risk for congestive heart failure in the future. 00:31 Thank you for watching our video today.
