Figure 5. Laminin‐conjugated engineered cardiac tissue L‐ECT) improves cardiac function and attenuates left ventricular (LV) remodeling in myocardial infarction (MI) model.

Figure 5

A–C, Course of cardiac function in the 3 groups (L‐ECT group, n=10; ECT group, n=10; control group, n=10), A1, LV ejection fraction (EF). A2, Course of improvement of EF (ΔEF). B, LV end‐diastolic diameter (LVDd). C, LV end‐systolic diameter (LVDs). D, Cell size of peri‐infarct zone in MI heart 4 weeks after transplantation. Bar=50 µm. E, Fibrosis rate at remote zone in MI heart 4 weeks after transplantation. Sections are assessed by Sirius Red staining. Preop indicates preoperatively.
