Continuous haemodynamic measurements (outside the MRI scanner). Continuous HR (heart rate), MAP (mean aortic pressure) and MPAP (mean pulmonary artery pressure) during the experiment, outside MRI scanner, shown as mean values (black line) ± standard deviation (grey). Cardiac arrest (VF) was induced at time 0 (bottom timeline, black triangle at dotted line). ECMO-CPR was started at time 15 (separate dotted line) and defibrillation was done at time 20 (open triangle). ECMO continued for 150 min before a 60-min stepwise weaning. Cardiac MRI of the beating heart was made ~60 min pre-arrest, and ~300 min post-arrest. The pig was euthanized after the post-arrest cardiac MRI (bullet point)
