Figure 4
(A) Left-ventricle end diastolic area over (left to right) the base, mid and apex sections from pre-surgery to 4 weeks post-surgery for the 4 experimental groups. Red lines and symbols: vehicle/sham group; blue lines and symbols: vehicle/IR group; pink lines and symbols: SCN−/sham group; green line and symbols: SCN−/IR group. Statistical analysis using two-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s Multiple Comparison Test, showed a significant difference in the mid-section for the vehicle /IR group compared to the other groups at 1 week, where * indicates p < 0.05. (B) Left-ventricle end systolic area over (left to right) the base, mid and apex sections from pre-surgery to 4 weeks post-surgery. Colour coding as panel (A). Statistical analysis using two-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s Multiple Comparison Test, showed statistically-significant differences in the vehicle/IR group compared to the other groups at 4 weeks in the base section, 2 and 4 weeks in the mid-section, and at 4 weeks in the apex section, with * indicating p < 0.05.
