Changes of cardiac function and left ventricular remodeling measured by different means of imaging examinations, after G-CSF mobilization. (A) Changes of LVEF measured by different means of imaging examinations, from four to eight weeks post-modeling. (A1) Changes of LVEF measured by left ventriculography (LVG). (A2) Changes of LVEF measured by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). (A3) Changes of LVEF measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). (A4) Changes of LVEF measured by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) ΔLVEF = change of LVEF. (B) Changes of left ventricular diameters and volume measured by TTE and CMR, from four to eight weeks post-modeling. (B1) Changes of left ventricular end-diastolic diameter measured by TTE. (B2) Changes of left ventricular end-diastolic volume measured by CMR. (B3) Changes of change of left ventricular end-systolic diameter measured by TTE. (B4) Changes of left ventricular end-systolic volume measured by CMR ΔLVEDd = change of left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, ΔLVEDV = change of left ventricular end-diastolic volume, ΔLVESd = change of left ventricular end-systolic diameter, and ΔLVESV = change of left ventricular end-systolic volume. CON = control, LOW = low dose group, MID = middle dose group, and HIGH = high dose group. *p < 0.05 compared with control group, #p < 0.05 compared with low dose group, and $p < 0.05 compared with high dose group. (C) Changes of myocardial infarct and perfusion detect size measured by CMR and SPECT, from four to eight weeks post-modeling. (C1) Changes of myocardial infarct size by CMR. (C2) Changes of myocardial perfusion detect size measured by SPECT CON = control, LOW = low dose group, MID = middle dose group, and HIGH = high dose group. *p < 0.05 compared with control group, #p < 0.05 compared with low dose group, and $p < 0.05 compared with high dose group. (D) Myocardial viability measured by SPECT, eight weeks post-modeling. CON = control, LOW = low dose group, MID = middle dose group, and HIGH, high dose group. *p < 0.05 compared with control group, #p < 0.05 compared with low dose group, and Δp < 0.05 compared with high dose group.
