Popis: Cardiac dysfunction leads to decreased organ perfusion. We aimed to measure cardiac and renal perfusion simultaneously with the use of N-13-NH3-microPET in different rat models. Ten male Wistar rats underwent sham surgery (n = 5) or permanent coronary artery ligation to induce myocardial infarction (MI, n = 5). Eleven weeks later N-13-NH3-microPET scan was performed to study the cardiac and renal perfusion. Cardiac perfusion was significantly reduced in MI group, directly correlated with ejection fraction and inversely correlated with MI size (r = 0.89; p
