The analysis of myocardial strain in response to different treatment (A) Representative images of B-mode echocardiography, the infarct area is labeled as blue circle. Quantification results of radial (B) and circumferential (C) strain in response to saline, free FGF10, heparin+FGF10 and FGF10 coacervate treatment. (D) Representative graphs showing radial and circumferential strain of infarcted area after the treatment of saline, free FGF10 and FGF10 coacervate (n = 4; * represents p < 0.05, ** represents p < 0.01 relative to saline, free FGF10 or heparin+FGF10 groups). All quantitative bars are represented as mean ± S.E.M. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the Web version of this article.)
