n = number of canines. LVEF, left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction; NT-proBNP, NH2-terminal prohormone B-type natriuretic peptide; LVEPD; LV diastolic pressure, LVEDV, LV end-diastolic volume; LVESV, LV end-systolic volume; Δ, change from the baseline to the final end point once the model reached chronic ischemic heart failure (HF) condition; PNE, plasma norepinephrine; LCx, left circumflex artery.
