Figure 6 Differential isovolumic contraction (IVC) velocity versus transmural extent of necrosis (TEN). Differential IVC during ischemia (open square) and reperfusion (solid triangle) was normalized by subtracting the baseline value. A good correlation was found between differential IVC and TEN. The lines of regression are indicated for both ischemia (broken line) and reperfusion (solid line).
