Figure 3: Echocardiographic data 28 days after aortocaval shunt. Echocardiographic variables of sham-operated rats, vehicle-treated rats and rats receiving either FG 0041 or FG 2216. P4-HI. a. LVEDD = left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, LVESD = left ventricular end-systolic diameter, LVH = left ventricular hypertrophy (thickness of interventricular septum and left ventricular posterior wall / 2). *p<0.05, **p<0.01 vs. sham, ##p<0.01 vs. Vehicle, §p<0.05 vs. FG 0041. Data are expressed as the mean value ± standard error of the mean. b. EF = left ventricular ejection fraction, measured in 4 chamber view. ***p<0.001 vs. sham, ##p<0.01 vs. Vehicle, §§p<0.01 vs. FG 0041. Data are expressed as the mean value ± standard error of the mean. |
