Fig. 5

Infarct characterization 6 weeks post-AMI. a Top panel: Representative LGE images showing differences in infarct transmurality (infarct indicated by arrows). Lower panel: Average infarct transmurality was increased in DCE group compared to controls (*p = 0.04) (Control n = 11; DCE n = 9). b Top panel: Representative short axis images showing the mid-anteroseptal segment (arrows). Bottom panel: Percent change in mid anteroseptal wall thickness at 6 weeks compared to baseline in control and DCE animals. Negative values represent wall thinning. DCE treated pigs had increased wall thinning compared to controls (**p = 0.03) (Control n = 11; DCE n = 9)
