Figure 4. — Heart function was improved in the rats that were treated with chitosan, rat MSCs and combined chitosan and MSCs. The combined chitosan and MSCs group demonstrated a significantly higher heart function than the groups treated with chitosan and MSC alone. Analysis of (A) ejection fraction, (B) fractional shortening, (C) left ventricular peak systolic pressure, (D) LV maximum dp/dt, and (E) LV end-diastolic pressure. n=6. **P<0.01 vs. sham group; *P<0.05 vs. infarcted group; ^#P<0.05 vs. MSCs alone group. MSC, mesenchymal stem cells; LV, left ventricle; EF, ejection fraction; FS, fractional shortening; LVSP, left ventricular peak systolic pressure; LVSDP, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure.
