The overall cardiopulmonary changes related to the left ventricular (LV) function were assessed by the LV ejection fraction (A) and degree of pulmonary congestion (lung-wet-to-dry ratio, LWDR; (B). Results were analyzed using unpaired t-test, and data are presented as mean ± SD. n = 6–8 different animals in each group. *P < 0.05 compared with no ligation.
