Figure 7 Impact of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy on global ventricular function. Ejection fraction assessed by cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Ejection fraction is markedly reduced in both groups at baseline and remains depressed in non-treated animals. However, a progressive improvement in the course of 8 weeks is observed in MSC-treated animals. *p < 0.05 versus day 2 after injection (time 0);  p < 0.05 versus non-treated (n = 6).
