Figure 6

Comparison of the baseline heart rate in-vivo versus ex-vivo before and after heart explantation. Data are represented as mean and standard deviation (SD). The “*” symbol indicates statistical significance. Bpm: beats per minute. In-vivo: heart rate measurements after instrumentation in-vivo, in-situ: heart rate measurements prior to heart explantation in the ex-vivo animals, ex-vivo: after heart explantation in Langendorff mode, HR heart rate.
