Echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular ejection fraction. (a) Comparison of the left ventricular ejection fraction within each group before and after transplantation. (b) Left ventricular ejection fraction percentage of each animal pre- (blue circle) and post- (red circle) treatment. Data are presented as median and minimum and maximum values. °: outlier value; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; EVs: transplanted with expanded CD133+ cell-derived EVs; CD133+: transplanted with expanded CD133+ cells; vehicle: treated with PBS; control: healthy animals ( to 8 per group).
