Fig. 3From: Mechanism of QSYQ on anti-apoptosis mediated by different subtypes of cyclooxygenase in AMI induced heart failure ratsQXYQ improved cardiac function. Parameters of cardiac function were detected by echocardiography. LVEDd and LVESd were up-regulated and EF and FS were reduced in the model group compared with those in the sham group. QSYQ didn’t show effect on LVEDd. LVESd was reduced to a certain degree in QSYQ group compared with that in model group (P > 0.05). EF and FS were up-regulated in QSYQ group compared with those in model group, suggesting that QYSQ could improve cardiac function (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, other groups vs. model group, n = 8)Back to article page
