EDD, end diastolic dimension; ESD, end systolic dimension; LVPW (D), left ventricular posterior wall thickness in diastole; LVPW (S), left ventricular posterior wall thickness in systole. Data are mean±s.e.m. (one-way ANOVA Games-Howell test,
p<0.05 comparing MI alone with sham,
p<0.05 comparing treated vs. untreated MI animals).
