Changes in Echocardiographic Parameters in Sham-Operated Hamsters and MI Hamsters Treated with Vehicle (MI) or HA28

Numerals in parentheses indicate examined numbers of animals. EF, ejection fraction; FS, fractional shortening; Dd, left ventricular dimension end diastole; Ds, left ventricular dimension end systole; E:A, the ratio of the early (E) to late (A) ventricular filling velocities; E, E-wave velocity; A, A-wave velocity. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 versus sham; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 versus vehicle.
