Table 1. Echocardiographic assessment showed that NGF could improve cardiac function.
Parameters | Sham | I/R | I/R+NGF |
---|---|---|---|
LVEDd | 3.0±0.2 | 3.7±0.3* | 3.3±0.1# |
LVESd | 1.4±0.2 | 2.3±0.2* | 1.8±0.1# |
EF(%) | 81.0±3.3 | 57.9±2.5** | 67.1±3.9# |
FS(%) | 56.4±3.1 | 35.4±1.8** | 43.5±2.3# |
LVESd: left ventricular end systolic dimension. LVEDd: left ventricular end diastolic dimension. EF: ejection fraction. FS: fractional shortening. * represents P < 0.05 vs. Sham group. ** represents P < 0.01 vs. Sham group. # represents P<0.05 vs. I/R group, Values are mean ± SD.
