Figure 2

Cardiac function analysis by MRI. (A-D) LVEF, ESV, EDV, and CO at baseline and 35 days after MI in surgical occlusion and coil embolization animal models. Data for individual pigs (dots) and the mean (±SD) are shown. (P = 0.341, P = 0.269, P = 0.149, and P = 0.168, respectively). (E and F) Representative turbo-spin-echo and (G and H) T1 short-axis delayed enhancement images from the coronary ligation and coil deployment groups. Arrows indicate MI in the LV wall and T1 images show healthy myocardium (in black) and the MI with gadolinium retention (in white).
