Figure 5From: Left ventricular functional assessment in murine models of ischemic and dilated cardiomyopathy using [18 F]FDG-PET: comparison with cardiac MRI and monitoring erythropoietin therapy Correlation of LVEF as assessed by ECG-gated FDG-PET with degree of fibrosis. (A) Representative histological cardiac findings showing myocardial fibrotic areas in CVB3-infected mice (Masson trichrome staining). (B) Correlation of degree of fibrosis obtained histology with LVEF measured by FDG-PET.Back to article page
