Baseline | 90 Days Post-MI | Baseline | 90 Days Post-MI | |
---|---|---|---|---|
LVESV, ml | LVESV, ml | LVEF, % | LVEF, % | |
MI, n = 7 | 0.44 ± 0.07 | 0.57 ± 0.12*† | 80.3 ± 1.7 | 74.9 ± 2.7*† |
VNS-MI, n = 7 | 0.43 ± 0.11 | 0.41 ± 0.13 | 79 ± 4.4 | 81.4 ± 4.4 |
Values expressed as means ± SE, with number of animals shown. Significant effect (
P < 0.05) compared with their baseline level using repeated-measures ANOVA and significant effect (
P < 0.05) compared with vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)-myocardial infarction (MI). LVESV, left ventricular end systolic volume; LVEF, LV ejection fraction.
