Key result
The extent of post-ejection wall thickening after 85-90 minutes of ischaemia correlated with myocardial creatine phosphate content (r = 0.812, p < 0.01) and inversely with infarct size.
Why the study?
Does the extent of post-ejection wall thickening predict the amount of viable tissue in a pig model of low flow ischemia?
Does the extent of post-ejection wall thickening predict the amount of viable tissue in a pig model of low flow ischemia?
Effect estimate: r = 0.812
p-value: p=<0.01
Post-ejection wall thickening may serve as a marker for the amount of viable, successfully hibernating myocardium during low flow ischemia.

Post-ejection wall thickening may mark viable myocardium in porcine low-flow ischemia; leaves open clinical translation pending human studies.
Rose et al. (1993) studied Acute myocardial ischaemia (n=13). Post-ejection wall thickening was evaluated on Correlation with myocardial creatine phosphate content (r = 0.812, p=<0.01). The extent of post-ejection wall thickening after 85-90 minutes of ischaemia correlated with myocardial creatine phosphate content (r = 0.812, p < 0.01) and inversely with infarct size.
