Figure 8.

(A) Cardiospheres increase cardiac output and decrease LV end diastolic pressure compared to placebo. Relative changes are shown. § P<0.05 vs. baseline (paired analysis) (N=7 per groups). (B) and (C) Effects on LVEF preservation (B) and scar size decrease (C) of IC CSp compared to IC CDC and to intra-myocardial injection (NOGA) of a comparable dose of Csp (45M SCE). The results for IC CDC and intra-myocardial CSp are derived from previous studies (no statistical comparisons were therefore performed) ^{6, 11}
