Tongxinluo Improves Cardiac Function and Ameliorates Ventricular Remodeling in Mice Model of Myocardial Infarction through Enhancing Angiogenesis

Figure 1

TXL treatment could improve the cardiac function as determined by echocardiography on the 30th day after surgical intervention. (a) Representative echocardiograph pictures of M mode images. The quantitative data of (b) ejection fraction (EF); (c) fractional shortening (FS); (d) left ventricular internal diameter in systole (LVIDs); and (e) left ventricular internal diameter in diastole (LVIDd). These results demonstrate that there was significant functional disorder in the control group compared with the sham group. TXL treatment significantly improved functional parameters compared with the animals after MI (𝑛= 5-6 per group). ^#𝑃<0.05 versus Sham; ^∗𝑃<0.05 versus Control.
