Figure 5.
Correlation plots of LV volumes with infarct size in the infarcted porcine heart. Significant correlations of LV dimensions of CMRI and 3DE with infarct size. (A) ESV (CMRI) correlates significantly with infarct size. R = 0.685, P = 0.007, n = 14. (B) EF (CMRI) correlates significantly with infarct size. R = −0.608, P = 0.021, n = 14. (C) ESV (3DE) correlates significantly with infarct size. R = 0.659, P = 0.020, n = 12. (D) EF (3DE) correlates significantly with infarct size. R = 0.650, P = 0.022. CMRI, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; 3DE, three‐dimensional echocardiography.
