Effect of Aqueous Extract from Descurainia sophia (L.) Webb ex Prantl on Ventricular Remodeling in Chronic Heart Failure Rats

Figure 2

Echocardiographic data showed that rats treated with DS had higher EF (%) and FS (%) and lower LVIDs and LVIDd compared to untreated group. This result indicated that DS could improve cardiac function in heart failure rats. At least 6 consecutive cardiac cycles were measured for each rat. Values were mean ± SD. P <0.05 versus HF group.
