Figure 2 Change in Blood Flow Ratios in VEGF-Injected and Control Animals
Myocardial blood flow (MBF) is expressed as ratio of MBF in the ameroid territory to remote territory. The change (± SD) from immediately before intramyocardial injection of either phVEGF165 or saline to 3 weeks after injection for both treatment and control experiments are expressed as percent. The blood flow ratio increased in the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-injected animals (orange bar) and decreased in the saline-injected animals (yellow bar). LAD = left anterior descending coronary artery; LCx = left circumflex artery.
