Scofield1, Krishna Singh1,2 1Department of Biomedical Sciences, James H. Quillen College of Medicine, East Tennessee State University, 2James H. Quillen Veterans Affairs Medical Center During murine myocardial ischemia/reperfusion surgery, correct placement of the occluding ligature is typically confirmed by visible observation of myocardial pallor. Herein, a method of electrocardiographically confirming ischemia and reperfusion, to supplement observed myocardial pallor, is demonstrated in male C57Bl/6 mice.
