Figure 1 Regional contractility of ischemic wall. Regional contractility of ischemic (left circumflex coronary artery) wall was determined at eight weeks. Each measurement was performed without or with continuous infusion of 10 µg/kg/min (10 ) and 40 µg/kg/min (40 ) of dobutamine to evaluate the viable ischemic myocardium. The average of three measurements was used for analysis. Results are given as mean ± SEM (n = 10 each group). *p < 0.05.
