Histological analysis showed that dantrolene did not alter the number of contraction bands evident after reperfusion of cold-stored hearts except when stored in 40 μM dantrolene which caused a 30% reduction in contraction bands ( Fig 3D and 3E ) but this did not reach statistical significance (ANOVA, p = 0.089).
