Infarct progression for different species. Comparison of the infarct progression slope (A) and the time to reach 50% MI of the MaR (B) for the different species. There was a significantly slower infarct evolution in man compared to pigs, rats and dogs. Consequently, the time to reach 50% MI of the MaR was longer for humans compared to pigs, rats and dogs. *** = p < 0.001; ** = p < 0.01; MaR = myocardium at risk; MI = myocardial infarction.
