Figure 6 Functional Assessment of Cell Grafting

(A) Changes in fractional shortening in individual animals before (post-injury baseline) and 30 and 60 days after cell grafting. (B to D) Changes in the average fractional shortening (B), wall motion score index (C), and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (D) values in the human embryonic stem cell (ESC)-derived cardiomyocytes (green), nonmyocyte (purple), and saline-injection (red) groups. (E) Comparison of the lung weight to tibia length ratio between the groups. The p values were Bonferroni-adjusted for 3 comparisons: *p < 0.05; {dagger}p < 0.01; {ddagger}p < 0.005. MI = myocardial infarction.
