Figure 2From: I(f) current channel inhibitor (ivabradine) deserves cardioprotective effect via down-regulating the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and attenuating apoptosis in diabetic mice Comparison of cardiac function between ivabradine and control groups. M-model echocardiography showed a significant increase of ventricular wall movement after ivabradine treatment (upper column); however, there was no significant difference in cardiac function in the control group (lower column).Back to article page
