We studied ischemia reperfusion and Ischemic Postconditioning in mice. Follow up included non invasive cMRI and myocardial tagging and invasive pressure conductance analysis after 1 and 10 weeks. We studied global and regional contractility changes and evaluated the effect of Ischemic Postconditioning at long term.
