Effects of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-δ Agonist on Cardiac Healing after Myocardial Infarction
Fig 1
Echocardiographic measurements of left ventricular remodeling.
The consecutive measurements of the echocardiographic parameters were acquired at baseline (0, immediate post-operation), 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days after surgical procedure. *P <0.05 between the MI group vs. sham group. †P <0.05 between the MI + GW group vs. sham group. MI, myocardial infarction only; MI + GW, MI treated with GW610742, IVS, interventricular septal thickness; LVEDD, left ventricular dimension at end-diastole; LVESD, left ventricular dimension at end-systole; FS, fractional shortening; EF, ejection fraction; SV, stroke volume. Sham (n = 3/each day), MI (n = 28 of baseline, n = 18 of 7days, n = 17 of 14 days, n = 6 of 28days), MI + GW (n = 31 of baseline, n = 19 of 7days, n = 15 of 14 days, n = 6 of 28days).
