Figure 2. CDC transplantation improved function of infarcted region.

Figure 2

A. Ejection fraction significantly improved in CDC-treated animals, but decreased in PBS-treated animals at 4 weeks following MI.

B. Mean circumferential strain of the apex improved significantly in the CELL group and worsened in the PBS group 4 weeks following MI.

C. Regional circumferential strain of the infarcted region (apex) improved in CDC-treated animals, 4 weeks post-MI/cell transplantation.

D. Improvement in mean circumferential strain of the apex was correlated with improvement in global LVEF.
