2 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
After 6 weeks of RVHT (unilateral renal artery stenosis) or control, pigs underwent PTRS (or sham), with adjunct continuous infusion of Bendavia (0.05 mg/kg intravenously, 30 min before to 3.5 h after PTRS) or vehicle (n = 7 each).
Four weeks later, systolic and diastolic function were assessed by multidetector computed tomography, myocardial oxygenation by blood oxygen level-dependent MRI, and myocardial morphology, apoptosis, mitochondrial biogenesis, and fibrosis evaluated ex vivo.
