Histomorphometric Findings at the end of 12 weeks of follow-up or therapy in normal dogs, in untreated control heart failure (HF) dogs and in heart failure dogs treated with Capadenoson (CAP)
VFRF (%) | VFIF (%) | CD (cap/mm2) | ODD (μm) | MCSA (μm2) | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Normal | 0.0 | 3.7±0.07 | 2609±79.5 | 8.9±0.17 | 410±10.0 |
HF-Control | 12.3±1.34* | 15.2±0.63* | 1775±72.9* | 14.5±0.44* | 663±12.3* |
HF-Capadenoson | 10.8±0.83 | 11.3±1.31† | 2077±46.1† | 11.5±0.51† | 548±24.4† |
Data are shown as Mean ± SEM. VFIF = volume fraction of interstitial fibrosis; VFRF = volume fraction of replacement fibrosis; CD = capillary density; ODD = oxygen diffusion distance; MCSA = myocyte cross-sectional area;
p<0.05 vs. Normal,
p<0.05 vs. HF-Control.
