Qingyi decoction protects against myocardial injuries induced by severe acute pancreatitis

Figure 1 Qingyi decoction impairs cardiac dysfunction in a rat model of severe acute pancreatitis. Echocardiography was used to assess cardiac function. A: Representative M-mode images; B: Left ventricular ejection fraction; C: Left ventricular fractional shortening. Results in panel B and C are expressed as the mean ± SE (n = 10 for each group). ^aP ≤ 0.05, sham group vs the indicated group; ^cP ≤ 0.05, severe acute pancreatitis group vs the indicated group. SAP: Severe acute pancreatitis; QYD: Qingyi decoction; 2-APB: 2-Aminoethyl diphenylborinate; LVEF: Left ventricular ejection fraction; LVFS: Left ventricular fractional shortening.
