Figures & Tables

Fig. 1

Coronary angiography performed on a female pig subjected to myocardial infarction induced by 30 min occlusion of the proximal part of the left anterior descending coronary artery with an angioplasty balloon in a modified anaesthetic protocol

Fig. 2

Coronary angiography presented occlusion of the proximal segment of the left anterior descending artery achieved with an angioplasty balloon in a female pig subjected to myocardial infarction in a modified anaesthetic protocol

Fig. 3

Features of acute myocardial ischemia – ST-segment elevation in a female pig subjected to myocardial infarction induced by 30 min occlusion of the proximal part of the left anterior descending coronary artery with an angioplasty balloon in a modified anaesthetic protocol. The sinus rhythm is shown at a rate of 106 bpm. V1 – costochondral junction of the right first intercostal space; V2 – sixth intercostal space, to the left of the sternum; V3 – midway point between leads V2 and V4; V4 – costochondral junction of the sixth intercostal space; V5 – sixth intercostal space, dorsal to V4 at a distance equal to the distance between V2 and V3 or V3 and V4; V6 – sixth intercostal space, dorsal to V5 at a distance equal to the distance between V2 and V3, V3 and V4 or V4 and V5. Paper speed: 50 mm/s; amplitude: 10 mm/mV; 25 Hz notch filter; Fuzzy+ software filter

Fig. 4a

Single ventricular premature complex (the 4th beat) of left ventricular origin in a female pig subjected to myocardial infarction induced by 30 min occlusion of the proximal part of the left anterior descending coronary artery with an angioplasty balloon in a modified anaesthetic protocol. I – bipolar limb lead, potential difference between the electrodes on the left superior limb and the right superior limb; II – bipolar limb lead, potential difference between the electrodes on the left inferior limb and the right superior limb; III – bipolar limb lead, potential difference between the electrodes on the left inferior limb and the left superior limb; aVR – augmented unipolar right limb lead; aVL – augmented unipolar left limb lead; aVF – augmented unipolar left hindlimb lead. The sinus rhythm is shown at a rate of 63 bpm. Paper speed: 50 mm/s; amplitude: 10 mm/mV; 25 Hz notch filter; Fuzzy+ software filter

Fig. 4b

Single ventricular premature complex (the fifth beat) of right ventricular origin in a female pig subjected to myocardial infarction induced by 30 min occlusion of the proximal part of the left anterior descending coronary artery with an angioplasty balloon in a modified anaesthetic protocol. I – bipolar limb lead, potential difference between the electrodes on the left superior limb and the right superior limb; II – bipolar limb lead, potential difference between the electrodes on the left inferior limb and the right superior limb; III – bipolar limb lead, potential difference between the electrodes on the left inferior limb and the left superior limb; aVR – augmented unipolar right limb lead; aVL – augmented unipolar left limb lead; aVF – augmented unipolar left hindlimb lead. The sinus rhythm is shown at a rate of 92 bpm. Paper speed: 50 mm/s; amplitude: 10 mm/mV; 25 Hz notch filter; Fuzzy+ software filter

I – bipolar limb lead, potential difference between the electrodes on the left superior limb and the right superior limb; II – bipolar limb lead, potential difference between the electrodes on the left inferior limb and the right superior limb; III – bipolar limb lead, potential difference between the electrodes on the left inferior limb and the left superior limb; aVR – augmented unipolar right limb lead; aVL – augmented unipolar left limb lead; aVF – augmented unipolar left hindlimb lead. Heart rate: 303 bpm; Paper speed: 50 mm/s; amplitude: 10 mm/mV; 25 Hz notch filter; Fuzzy+ software filter

Fig. 7

Ventricular fibrillation in a female pig subjected to myocardial infarction induced by a 30 min occlusion of the proximal part of the left anterior descending coronary artery with an angioplasty balloon in a modified anaesthetic protocol. I – bipolar limb lead, potential difference between the electrodes on the left superior limb and the right superior limb; II – bipolar limb lead, potential difference between the electrodes on the left inferior limb and the right superior limb; III – bipolar limb lead, potential difference between the electrodes on the left inferior limb and the left superior limb; aVR – augmented unipolar right limb lead; aVL – augmented unipolar left limb lead; aVF – augmented unipolar left hindlimb lead. Heart rate: 329 bpm; paper speed: 50 mm/s; amplitude: 10 mm/mV; 25 Hz notch filter; Fuzzy+ software filter
