Key result
A quantitative electrocardiogram method provides real-time feedback to confirm myocardial infarction in animal models of coronary artery ligation, potentially increasing efficiency and reducing animal use.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to describe a quantitative method for using an ECG during coronary artery ligation in animals to provide real-time feedback and improve experimental efficiency.

A quantitative ECG method can provide real-time feedback to confirm myocardial infarction in animal models, potentially improving surgical efficiency and reducing animal use.
Our study describes a quantitative method for using an electrocardiogram (ECG) to determine which animals have infarcts that reflect coronary artery ligation. Using a quantitative ECG, investigators will have the benefit of having real-time feedback during the procedure, which will ultimately decrease the amount of time investigators spend performing experiments. This overall increase in efficiency will help investigators decrease animal numbers used due to better surgical outcomes.
