Group | n | RA/LVWA (%) | NRA/RA (%) | NRA/LVWA (%) | (RA-NRA)/LVWA (%) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Control | 8 | 50.73±3.93 | 49.84±5.04 | 25.39±3.49 | 25.34±2.68 |
PGE2 | 8 | 54.37±8.72 | 27.13±8.71a | 14.83±5.51a | 39.54±7.55a |
(RA-NRA)/LVWA (%) represents the modified RA of the left ventricle.
P<0.01 vs. control group. RA, reperfusion area; NRA, no-reflow area; LVWA, left ventricular wall area; PGE2, prostaglandin E2.
