Figure 4. hCMP transplantation improves cardiac function and reduces infarct size after MI.

Figure 4

(A–C) Cardiac function was evaluated at week 1 and 4 via (A) echocardiographic assessments of (B) left-venticular ejection fraction and (C) fractional shortening. (D–F) Sections of hearts from animals in different groups were (D) Masson’s trichrome–stained for histological assessments of (E) infarct size and (F) infarct wall thickness. Infarct size was calculated as a percentage of the circumflexion length of the left ventricular free wall, and infarct wall thickness was calculated as a percentage of the thickness of the septal wall. *p<0.05.
