Gastrin ameliorates cardiac function and survival rate in myocardial infarction mice. a1 Representative M-mode images of hearts with the sham operation or myocardial infarction 28 days after the saline vehicle and gastrin infusion. a2–5 Represent left ventricle ejection fraction (EF), fractional shortening (FS), diastolic left ventricle internal diameter (LVIDd) and systolic left ventricle internal diameter (LVIDs) after MI. n = 10. ^*P < 0.05, vs. MI mice; ^#P < 0.05, vs. MI + Gastrin. b Gastrin improves Kaplan–Meier survival rate of mice subjected to MI. n = 10. Log-rank test P < 0.05
