Echocardiographic data: Experimental model of infarct in rats with groups: control, AHAS and AHAS + 15dPGJ.

Analysis separately for each groups There was no statistical difference in LVEF, LVES, and LVED parameters in all animals studied when compared to the baseline values. In this way, the groups were considered homogeneous. One month after scaffold implantation, the LVEF decrease significantly in control group from 33.13 ± 2.75 to 28.13 ± 3.8% (p=0.008), increased in AHAS group from 35.38 ± 2.67% to 38.88 ± 4.29% (p=0.082) and increased significantly in AHAS + 15d-PGJ2 group from 33.5 ± 5.07% to 38.88 ± 3.14% (p=0.004). The LVES, over the same time interval, increased in control group from 0.305 ± 0.178 mL to 0.380 ± 0.182 mL (p= 0.854), and decreased in AHAS group from 0.168 ± 0.039 mL to 0.161 ± 0.052 mL (p>0.9999) and in AHAS + 15d-PGJ2 group from 0.290 ± 0.143 mL to 0.179 ± 0.063 mL (p= 0.356). The LVED, over the same time interval, gave significant increases in the control group from 0.350 ± 0.362 mL to 0.569 ± 0.274 mL (p= 0.007), stabilized in AHAS group (0.260 ± 0.058 mL to 0.262 ± 0.074 mL; p>0.9999) and decrease in AHAS +15d-PGJ2 group from 0.418 ± 0.19 mL to 0.292 ± 0.094 mL (p=0.185) (Table 1).
