Hemodynamic improvements of coronary artery blood flow on postinfarct cardiac remodeling 1 week and 4 weeks after myocardial infarction. (a) Diameter of coronary artery and total blood volume measured by velocity time integral of left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery (LAD_VTI). (b) Coronary artery (CA) output (ml/min) and CA stroke volume (SV) (µl) measured at the proximal LAD. Data represent means ± SEM with n = 7–9 per group. #P < 0.05 versus sham thoracotomy, *P < 0.05 versus I/R, ‡P < 0.05 versus PPP particle-alone, §P < 0.05 versus hMSC-alone. LAD, left anterior descending.
