Figure 1 Correlations between the MI/non-MI ratio for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and the left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI: top panel) and ejection fraction (LVEF: bottom panel) in 40 patients with reperfusion therapy. The MI/non-MI ratio for HGF is a relative index of infarct-related HGF secretion, and was obtained as the ratio of the HGF level in the infarcted region (MI) to that in the noninfarcted region (non-MI).
