Effect of GXD on echocardiographical parameters in MI rats. a Representative echocardiography pictures of M mode images. The quantitative data of (b) LV end-diastolic inner diameter (LVID; d); (c) LV end-systolic inner diameter (LVID; s); (d) LV posterior wall thickness in end-diastole (LVWP; d); (e) LV posterior wall thickness in end-systole (LVPW; s); (f) interventricular septal diastolic wall thickness (IVS; d); (g) interventricular septal systolic wall thickness (IVS; s); (h) fractional shortening (FS); (i)ejection fraction (EF); (j) LV end- diastolic volume (LVEDV); (k)end-systolic volume (LVESV). Results are expressed as mean ± S.D. (n = 8 for Sham group and n = 12 for other groups). ^△△ P < 0.01 vs sham group; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs MI group
