Effects of Buyang Huanwu Decoction on Ventricular Remodeling and Differential Protein Profile in a Rat Model of Myocardial Infarction

Figure 1

Histological and echocardiographic parameters. (a) Two-dimensional-guided M-mode echocardiographic images of the left ventricle. (b) Representative gross images of whole hearts (left), haematoxylin and eosin staining midventricular cross-sections (right). (c) Representative Masson’s trichrome staining results (left) and microscopic images of haematoxylin and eosin staining (right). (d) Heart weight/body weight (HW/BW) results. (e) Collagen volume fraction results. (f)–(i) Echocardiographic measurements of left ventricular dimension at end diastole (LVDd), left ventricular dimension at end systole (LVDs), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS). (a) ^a𝑃<0.01, ^b𝑃<0.05  versus sham group; ^c𝑃<0.01, ^d𝑃<0.05  versus model group.
