Cardiac MRI was performed on days 1, and 21 after coronary ligation. Cine images of the left ventricular short axis were obtained using a 7 Tesla horizontal bore Pharmascan (Bruker) and a custom-built mouse cardiac coil in birdcage design (Rapid Biomedical). Acquisition was ECG triggered and respiratory gated using a fast low angle shot sequence. The echo time was 2.7ms, and the flip angle was 30 degrees (60 degrees for delayed enhancement imaging after intravenous injection of Gd-DTPA for measurement of infarct size). Images were analyzed using Segment software (http://segment/heiberg.se ). Infarct size was determined by summing the % myocardial mass enhanced by gadolinium on serial short axis sections quantified at end-diastole. Ejection fraction was determined by calculating the change in ventricular volume between end-diastole and end-systole normalized to end-diastolic volume.
Custom built mouse cardiac coil in birdcage design
Manufactured by Rapid Biomedical
The custom-built mouse cardiac coil in birdcage design is a specialized laboratory equipment component used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications. It is specifically designed to generate a uniform magnetic field for imaging the heart of small rodents, such as mice. The birdcage design provides a homogeneous magnetic field to ensure accurate and reliable data collection during MRI procedures.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
