FIG. 1

In vivo ultrasound at 6 months after local heart irradiation in mast cell-deficient and mast cell-competent rats. Panel A: Long axis view of a rat heart. Panel B: Short axis views of hearts in systole (left) and diastole (right) were used to measure left ventricular area. Panel C: Reductions in left ventricular diastolic area and left ventricular systolic area were more severe in mast cell-deficient rats. Data are shown as average ± SEM, n = 10, *P < 0.05 irradiated compare to sham irradiation, #P < 0.05 mast cell-deficient compare to mast cell-competent. This figure presents data from (38).
