Figure 4

Evaluation of left ventricle function by echocardiography. (A) Representative images of M-mode echocardiography showing improved cardiac function in mice treated with lentivirus expressing hVEGF or CBDhVEGF compared with mice treated with control virus. (B–E) The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), fractional shortening (LVFS), stroke volume (LVSV), and cardiac output (CO) were calculated by M-mode echocardiography in each group. Values are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 8 for each group). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, # p < 0.05.
