FIG. 1.

Experimental Phase 1 of model development. (A) Schematic of experimental time line and procedures. (B) PTZ failed to induce seizures with methohexital anesthesia. (C) Bicuculline (intravenously) rapidly induced seizures. (D) After seizures, induced with bicuculline piglets had decreased left ventricular contractility and a lower fractional area change (*means ± SEM differ, p < 0.05) indicating reduced ejection fraction and at least temporary myocardial dysfunction. PTZ, pentylenetetrazol; SEM, standard error of the mean.
