CHAT and ischemia: The time interval from the onset of ischemia to beating arrest was significantly longer in the ChAT‐tg heart than that in the WT heart (5.67±0.64 versus 1.83±0.29 minutes, P=0.0014, n=9; Figure 6B), and the latency period from the onset of reperfusion to recovery of ventricular beating was significantly shorter in the ChAT‐tg heart than that in the WT heart (1.07±0.14 versus 3.78±0.49 minutes, P=0.0011, n=9; Figure 6B).
