Figure 1

Effects of HPβCD/Ang-(1–7) on echocardiographic parameters after left coronary artery ligation in rats followed for up to 50 days. (a) Fractional shortening, (b) ejection fraction, (c) end systolic left ventricular volume, (d) end diastolic left ventricular volume, (e) interventricular septal dimension in systole, and (f) interventricular septal dimension in diastole. ^∗𝑃<0.05versus sham; ^∗∗𝑃<0.01versus sham; ^∗∗∗𝑃<0.001 versus sham; ^†𝑃<0.05 versus MI (two-way ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni posttest).
