Influence of coronary architecture on the variability in myocardial infarction induced by coronary ligation in rats.

It has been shown that the size of myocardial infarction in rats created by coronary ligation technique is not uniform, varying from 4% to 65%. We hypothesized that infarct size variability induced by coronary artery ligation might be caused by coronary artery branching pattern. Coronary artery angi...
