A Nonthoracotomy Myocardial Infarction Model in an Ovine Using Autologous Platelets
Figure 1
Electrocardiogram (ECG) readings during embolization. Myocardial infarction verification through electrocardiogram changes. Representative electrocardiogram (ECG) readings from Lead II during the embolization procedure in one animal showing (a) baseline, or preembolization ECG showing absence of ischemia, and (b) 3 minute-post embolization showing “tombstone” or significantly elevated ST segments consistent with a large anterior infarction.
