Table 2. Safety Analysis.

Control group(n = 39) Dil group(n = 40)
Heart rate (beats/min)
Baseline 71.5±7.9 74.6±6.8
Follow up 71.0±7.4 69.3±6.8 (p<0.001)
Ejection fraction (%)
Baseline 60.5±5.6 58.6±5.1
Follow up 60.0±4.4 58.5±4.7
Creatinine (mg/dL)
Baseline 0.70±0.21 0.72±0.18
Follow up 0.71±0.21 0.74±0.18
Alanine transaminase (U/L)

p<0.05 vs. baseline. Unpaired Student’s t test or Mann-Whitney-Test was used to compare differences in means or mean ranks of variables between control group and Dil group. Paired Student’s t test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the means or mean ranks of the two related samples (baseline vs. Follow up) as indicated. The Bonferroni correction was applied and adjust p-values (p value x 2) were obtained.
