Figure 3. Evaluation of cardiac function by echocardiography in rats after myocardial infarction (MI).

Figure 3

Measurements were performed at baseline before MI and 1, 7, 28 and 56 days after MI as indicated. (A) Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD). (B) Left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD). (C) Left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS). (D) Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). ¥ p<0.05 compared to day 1 post-MI in the same group, one-way repeated measures ANOVA.*p<0.001 vs. the PBS group at the same time-point, $p<0.05 vs. the hydrogel group at the same time-point and +p<0.05 vs. the MSC group at the same time-point, one-way ANOVA. All values represent mean ± SEM.
