Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

Cardiac function was measured with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The panel A represent a representative image of the measurement of the thickness of the infarcted (septum) and healthy lateral free wall in end diastolic short axis views. B and C graphics represent the infarct area and the ejection fraction measurements, respectively, obtained on days 0 (before CDCs administration), 7 and 30. The lower boundary of the box indicates the 25th percentile and the upper boundary the 75th percentile. Bars above and below the box indicate the 90th and 10th percentiles. The line within the box marks the median. No statistically significant differences were found between groups (n = 4).
