Figure 3 End-systolic muscle-to-cavity-area ratio (ESMCAR) in control group (squares), annuloplasty group (circles), and ventricular wrap group (triangles). The ESMCAR did not change during postinfarction remodeling in the wrap group. By analysis of variance, considering all experimental time points, ESMCAR was significantly reduced in both the annuloplasty and control groups when compared with the wrap group. There was no significant difference between the control and annuloplasty groups.
