Table 1. Echocardiography data.

Echocardiography data are presented for sham non-infarcted hearts, saline-injected infarcted hearts (PBS), and therapy-treated infarcted hearts (ESA), including left ventricular wall thickness in diastole (LVWT), left ventricular internal dimension in systole (LVIDs) and diastole (LVIDd), and ejection fraction (EF). Statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in post-hoc analysis are indicated by † for sham vs PBS, ‡ for sham vs ESA, and § for PBS vs ESA.
