Quantification of the infarct size and shape after cardiac MRI. (A) Quantitative size analysis of the rat heart. The infarct size was measured as the percentage of infarct area compared to the total left ventricular area. (B) Quantitative shape analysis (i.e., transmural extent) of the rat heart. Infarct shape was measured using the percentage of the infarcted area compared to the total area of the infarcted left ventricle. (C) Example case of the rat heart with the same infarct size, but different shapes. The left figure shows a thin and long subendocardial infarction, while the right figure demonstrates a thick and short, fully transmural myocardial infarction.
