In mice after myocardial infarction, acute-phase delivery of the MGF E-domain peptide ameliorated the decline in hemodynamics.
In plain wordsIn mice after a heart attack, early MGF E-domain peptide lessened the drop in heart performance compared with no treatment.

Delivery of the E-domain peptide during the acute phase post-MI ameliorated the decline in hemodynamics, delayed decompensation but did not prevent pathologic hypertrophy.
3 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
A significant decline in both systolic and diastolic hemodynamics accompanied by pathologic hypertrophy occurred by 10 weeks post-MI in the untreated group.
Here we deliver the human MGF E-domain peptide to mice during the acute phase (within 12 hours) and the chronic phase (8 weeks) post-MI.
We assessed the impact of peptide delivery on cardiac function and cardiovascular hemodynamics by pressure-volume (P-V) loop analysis and gene expression by quantitative RT-PCR.
