Figure 1

Moderate Hypothermia Reduces Infarct size. (A) TTC (top: scar tissue is bright white), DEMRI (bottom: yellow areas are 6SD above mean signal intensity = scar tissue). Note visibly reduced injury/infarct in 32C group; (B) Only 32C hearts (n=6) exhibited significant reduction in infarct size (as % of LV) vs. 38C (n=6). 35C (n=7); (C) Infarct size by CMR best correlated with TTC histopathological scar using 6SD threshold method. (D-F) Bland-Altman plots show good agreement between TTC Infarct size and 6SD, but poor agreements with 5SD and FWHM Infarct size.
