Baseline characteristics of the five isolated pig heart models
| Heart | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| Heart rate (bpm.) | 126 | 91 | 77 | 102 | 105 |
| Blood temp (°C) | 38.3 | 38.5 | 37.7 | 37.2 | 38 |
| Area at risk (g, %) | 42 (17%) | 38 (15%) | 55 (22%) | 60 (24%) | 45 (18%) |
The area at risk was determined at the end of the experiments by methylene blue staining of the infarct area and is expressed as a percentage of the mean left ventricular mass of a domestic pig. Bpm = beats per minute.
