Figure 2

Cardiac global morphology-function analysis. In vivo cMRI enabled to establish the relationship between MI (hyperenhanced region on DE-cMRI) and EF (global LV function measured on cine-MRI) in rabbits with reperfused MI at 48 hours. The increasing MI size correlates significantly with the decreasing EF (p<0.001), confirming a successful model of acute reperfused MI.
