Abbreviations: CME, coronary microembolization; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVFS, left ventricular fractional shortening; CO, cardiac output; LVIDd, left ventricular internal diameter at end-diastole. Data are presented as mean ± SD. ^aP < 0.05 versus the Sham group; ^bP < 0.05 versus the CME group; ^cP < 0.05 versus the CME+shRNA group.
