Macroscopic Postmortem Analysis
Macroscopic analysis showed that all cardiac structures were intact. The whole hearts appeared intact from the outside, with no visible damage on the epicardial surfaces (except in 2 animals in which a 7-mm diameter superficial hematoma [epicardium] was visible). After dissection, no damage was observed inside of the heart.
