Results of the CMRI+LE Examinations of the HF and Control Animals at 6- Months Follow-Up

CMRI Parameters	HF Group	Control Group	p Value
HR, beats/min	102 (73−110)	89 (86−91)	NS
LVM, g	98 (95−105)	63 (61−64)	0.008
LVEDV, ml	101 (95−110)	79 (79−83)	0.016
LVESV, ml	56 (56−64)	39 (36−40)	0.008
LVEF, %	42 (41−44)	53 (52−55)	0.008
CI, l/min	4.33 (3.38−4.64)	3.90 (3.66−4.30)	NS
PER, ml/s	142 (117−188)	239 (184−296)	0.018
PFR, ml/s	163 (152−177)	248 (210−285)	0.001

Values are median (25th to 75th percentiles).

CI = cardiac index; CMRI = cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; HF = heart failure; HR = heart rate; LE = late enhancement; LVEDV = left ventricular end-diastolic volume; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; LVESV = left ventricular end-systolic volume; LVM = left ventricular mass; PER = peak ejection rate, PFR = peak filling rate.
