C57BL/6 mice have increased mortality due to cardiac rupture following myocardial infarction (MI). (a) Post‐MI survival in WT BALB/c (n = 19, solid line) and C57BL/6 (n = 17, dotted line) mice. (b) Troponin I concentration in blood collected at 24 h following induction of MI in C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice undergoing cardiac ultrasound at day 7 post‐MI (n = 7–10/group). (c) End‐systolic area at day 7 following MI. (d) Ejection fraction at day 7 following MI (n = 7–10/group). (e) Scar size expressed as a percentage of the left ventricle in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice at day 7 post‐MI (n = 3–5/group).
