Continuous electrocardiogram monitoring in porcine model of myocardial ischemia reperfusion
Wearable technology for continuous electrocardiogram monitoring can be utilized in porcine models of disease. Abstract As cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of global mortality, innovative animal models are vital to demonstrating the translational value of experimental discoveries. Investigations focused on myocardial remodeling after ischemia

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy
Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.
