Figure 1 Mean change from baseline (with 95% confidence interval) in left ventricular end-diastolic volume index in the two treatment groups. By repeated measures analysis of all time points, p = 0.032 for the difference in change in left ventricular end-diastolic volume index between the treatment groups.

Figure 2 Mean change from baseline (with 95% confidence interval) in left ventricular end-systolic volume index in the two treatment groups. By repeated measures analysis of all time points, p = 0.006 for the difference in change in left ventricular end-diastolic volume index between the treatment groups.

Figure 3 Mean change from baseline (with 95% confidence interval) in left ventricular ejection fraction in the two treatment groups. By repeated measures analysis of all time points, p = 0.15 for the difference in change in left ventricular end-diastolic volume index between the treatment groups.
