In vivo effects of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) on left ventricular function following myocardial ischemia/reperfusion. (A) Representative echocardiographic images taken pre-ischemia and post-reperfusion. (B) Pre-ischemic and post-reperfusion (24 h) cardiac function: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (left) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) (right). (C) Average infarct size. (D) Post-reperfusion (24 h) creatine kinase (CK)-MB activity. (E) Post-reperfusion (24 h) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity. Data are represented as the means ± SEM (CH group, n=7; N group, n=6). P<0.05 vs. normoxia group.*P<0.05 and **P<0.01.
