The cardiac function assessed by echocardiography. Changes of the left ventricular anterior wall end-diastolic thickness (LVAWd, mm) (a), the systolic left ventricular anterior wall thickness (LVAWs, mm) (b), the ejection fraction (EF, %) (c), the fractional shortening (FS, %) (d), aortic valve peak (AV peak, mm Hg) (e), the left ventricular internal dimension at end-diastole (LVIDd, mm) (f), the LV internal dimension at end-systole (LVIDs, mm) (g), the LV end-diastolic diameter (LVEDd) (μL) (h), the LV end-systolic dimension (LVESd) (μL) (i), the LV posterior wall end-diastolic thickness (LVPWd, mm) (j), and the LV posterior wall end-systolic thickness (LVPWs, mm) (k). *p < 0.001 vs. sham group; #p < 0.05 vs. AMI group; ^p < 0.05 vs. atorvastatin group.
