Ginseng Is Useful to Enhance Cardiac Contractility in Animals

Figure 2

Effects of ginseng on cardiac performance in hearts isolated from rats. The representative picture shows the change in cardiac performance caused by ginseng in isolated hearts (a). Heart rate and cardiac contractility were recorded in isolated rat heart treated with ginseng or cotreated with ginseng + GSK0660. The changes in developed pressure (b) and beat rate (c) were recorded continuously throughout the whole experiment. All values are presented as mean ± SEM ( ). as compared to normal rats.
