Figure 1

Effect of carvedilol on fractional shortening (FS) of theleft ventricle. Carvedilol administration is associated witha improvement in left ventricular function DCM0 (n = 18),DCM1 (n = 13), DCM20 (n = 12). *p < 0.001compared to DCM0. Healthy control turkeys (CON); controlturkeys treated with two dosages of carvedilol, 1 mg/kg (CON1)and 20 mg/kg (CON20); dilated cardiomyopathic turkeys(DCM); non-treated DCM animals (DCM0); myopathic turkeys treatedwith two dosages of carvedilol, 1 mg/kg (DCM1) and 20mg/kg (DCM20).
