Transmural gradients in the Langendorff‐perfused intact heart and wedge preparation

Intact heart LV wedge preparation
Electrical Electrical Optical
AT (msec) 8 ± 4a 35 ± 15b 23 ± 6b
ARI/APD (msec) 5 ± 16a −62 ± 32 −40 ± 10b
RT (msec) 13 ± 7a −27 ± 22 −17 ± 13

ARI, activation recovery interval; AT, activation times; LV, left ventricular.

a

Means significantly shorter than in the LV wedge preparation (P < 0.05), n = 3.

b

Means significantly different from zero (P < 0.05), n = 3.
