Abbildung 3: TTC-stained heart
Cross sections of the TTC-stained heart. a) Areas at risk are delineated by Evans blue dye in a representative heart with occlusion of the left descending coronary artery. All areas that stain blue were therefore not at risk. b) Areas that appear pale white are infarcted. Areas that remain red were not infarcted but were within the area at risk. Transverse sections are from the apex to the base (from left to right side).
