The effects of CDCs on echocardiographic measurements.

		LAD WT (%)	Remote WT (%)	FS (%)	EF (%)
Untreated animals
Initial	6	20 ± 4	58 ± 4	18 ± 1	39 ± 2
Final		13 ± 6	47 ± 8	13 ± 2	32 ± 3
CDCs
Initial	5	16 ± 6	51 ± 5	13 ± 1	29 ± 3
Final		36 ± 6	99 ± 10	21 ± 2	45 ± 4

Values are mean ± SEM; versus initial; versus untreated animals; LAD: left anterior descending coronary artery; WT: wall thickening; FS: fractional shortening; and EF: ejection fraction.
