Effects of therapeutic angiogenesis with plasmid VEGF165 on ventricular function in a canine model of chronic myocardial infarction Efeito da angiogênese terapêutica com VEGF165 sobre a função ventricular em infarto do miocárdio crônico

OBJECTIVE: Therapeutic angiogenesis is currently under investigation in ischemic heart disease. We examined the effect on left ventricular function induced by therapeutic angiogenesis by intramyocardial injection of plasmid VEGF165, in a canine model of chronic myocardial infarction. METHODS: Left t...
