Assessment of myocardial infarct size using 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining in post-transplanted donor hearts at 90 minutes.
(A) Representative mid-myocardial cross sections of TTC-stained hearts for the 4 groups. Red-stained areas indicate viable tissue and white areas indicate infarct tissue. (B) Myocardial infarct size was assessed in the hearts from the 4 groups. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. n.s.: not significant, *P < 0.01, **P < 0.05.
