Figure 1 Effect of parecoxib sodium on cardiac function of rats. (A) Changes in left ventricular systolic function of rats. LVSP and +dp/dtmax were remarkably higher in the Sham group than those in the I/R group and I/R+Pare group (P<0.05). (B) Changes in left ventricular diastolic function of rats. LVEDP and −dp/dtmax were remarkably higher in the Sham group than those in the I/R group and I/R+Pare group (P<0.05). (C) Changes in weight of myocardial infarction region. The infarction area was remarkably smaller in the Sham group than that in the I/R group and I/R+Pare group (P<0.05). (* P<0.05 vs. I/R group, ** P<0.01 vs. I/R group)
