Measurement of LV Size, Wall Thickness, and Contractile Function With TTE 3 Weeks After Experimental MI

Variable	Untreated (N=9)	GelMA Treated (N=15)	P Value
Anterior wall thickness, mm	0.58±0.13	0.86±0.11	<0.001
Posterior wall thickness, mm	0.85±0.17	0.89±0.11	0.419
LV end‐diastolic diameter, mm	4.09±1.22	3.86±0.36	0.465
LV end‐systolic diameter, mm	3.05±1.08	2.43±0.34	0.034
Fractional shortening, %	26±5	37±4	<0.001

All data presented as mean±SD. GelMA indicates gelatin methacryloyl; LV, left ventricular; MI, myocardial infarction; and TTE, transthoracic echocardiography.
