Figure 4

Evaluation of myocardial function. Ejection fraction EF (A) and fractional shortening FS (B) were not significantly changed in any of the three groups at 1 week post infarction. However, EF and FS increased significantly in CAD+DM and CAD groups after MSC transplantation. EF and FS were significantly lower in the CAD+DM group than in the CAD group after 4 weeks. (*P < 0.05 CAD+DM and CAD groups compared with control group, #P < 0.05 CAD+DM group compared with CAD group).
