Does the site of coronary occlusion determine the hemodynamic and cardiac rhythm changes in a feline model of acute myocardial infarction?
The site of experimental coronary occlusion in cats is a major determinant of the hemodynamic and cardiac rhythm changes occurring after acute myocardial infarction, which is related to the anatomical distribution of the occluded artery.
Corr et al. (1976) studied this question.
