Percent peak circumferential (top) and longitudinal (bottom) strain measurements obtained from remote myocardium and chronic infarct scar containing the infarct shown on DE-MR images for guidance. The circumferential and longitudinal strain were markedly increased in animals treated with pCK-HGF gene compared with pCK-LacZ gene. The data were obtained at 5 weeks after infarction (left blocks) and 5 weeks after delivery of gene (right blocks). Black bars represent animals injected with pCK-LacZ gene and white bars represent animals treated with pCK-HGF gene. *P<0.05-0.01 measurements compared with pCK-LacZ control animal data and †P<0.05 weeks prior to therapy.
