Figure 3From: Chronic treatment with Carvedilol improves ventricular function and reducesmyocyte apoptosis in an animal model of heart failureEffect of carvedilol on cardiac myocyte apoptosis. Failinghearts treated with carvedilol show reduced number of TUNEL-positivenuclei, (A) DCM1 and (B) DCM20. Both low andhigh doses of the drug inhibited myocyte apoptosis to almost controllevels (C). No effect of carvedilol on apoptosis in control groupswas observed (C). *p < 0.001 vs. control and carvedilol treatedgroups. Micrographs in (A) and (B) were taken with 40X objectiveand reduced for reproduction.Back to article page
