Group	H/B (mg/g)	EF (%)	FS (%)
Sham	0.30 ± 0.01	72.44 ± 0.63	43.35 ± 1.20
Model	0.51 ± 0.02##	92.29 ± 0.69##	57.08 ± 1.30##
Digoxin	0.33 ± 0.01∗∗	77.40 ± 1.72∗	48.41 ± 0.91∗
HA	0.48 ± 0.02	89.59 ± 1.48	54.71 ± 0.17
GA	0.43 ± 0.01	86.69 ± 1.05∗	52.68 ± 0.58
HA + GA	0.36 ± 0.01∗	80.56 ± 0.39∗∗	49.90 ± 0.73∗

Note: HA: hypaconitine; GA: glycyrrhetinic acid; H/B: the heart/body weight ratio; EF: ejection fraction; FS: fractional shortening. Sham group (n = 6), Model group (n = 6), Digoxin group (n = 6), HA group (n = 6), GA group (n = 7), and HA + GA group (n = 7). All data were presented as mean ± SD. ^## P < 0.01 versus Sham group; ^∗ P < 0.05 and ^∗∗ P < 0.01 versus Model group.
