Figure 8

Correlation between ejection fraction and infarct size. Pooling all groups together, there is a significant correlation between EF and infarct size (r = -0.55; P = 0.002). There was no evidence of clustering of groups. Of the two largest infarcts, one was observed in the USSC group, and one in the Media group. Of the three smallest infarcts, one each was observed in each of the cell groups. EF: ejection fraction; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; USSC: unrestricted somatic stem cells.
