Core Tip	For developing therapeutic procedures/drugs aimed at modulating infarct size after coronary artery disease, it is important not only to measure myocardial infarction but also to know the extent of area at risk (AAR). However, determination of the AAR both in vivo and ex vivo can be challenging, and controversial. In this experiment we sought to develop a reliable method to accurately localize the culprit coronary occlusion for postmortem verification after in vivo cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and to establish a new bifunctional staining as a standard reference for ex vivo area at risk identification, which may substantially contribute to translational cardiac imaging research.
