   Clinical research indicates that as the size of the myocardial scar increases, so does the likelihood of the patient to develop heart failure. [7] Acute cardiac unloading decreases cardiac MVO2 and has been demonstrated to limit the amount of scar tissue that forms, thus preserving heart function after a heart attack.
