Reappearance of myocytes in ovine infarcts produced by six hours of complete ischemia followed by reperfusion

Background. In this study we tested the hypothesis that delayed reperfusion of ischemic myocardium—too late to save myocytes—attenuates infarct expansion and improves collagen synthesis. Methods. The hypothesis was tested in a sheep model of anteroapical infarction that has no collateral blood flow...
