Phlegm-damp syndrome promotes myocardial injury in ISO-induced myocardial injury mice. a Serums were collected to evaluate the level of TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C. Data are shown as mean ± S.D. (n = 5–6). b Left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPW) and inter ventricular septal thickness (IVS) was measured by echocardiography and shown as mean ± S.D (n = 5) in (c). d Cardiac index for each mouse was calculated using the following formula: heart weight/bodyweight × 100%. Data are shown as mean ± S.D (n = 6). e The pathological changes and fibrosis of myocardium were assessed by H&E and Masson staining (scale bar = 50 µm). *P < 0.05 versus control group, **P < 0.01 versus control group, ##P < 0.01 versus ISO group
