On the left side: representative mid-ventricular short axis CMR images of the control group (MI: n = 9) and cell therapy group (MIC: n = 13) 3 weeks after myocardial infarction. Upper row: end-diastolic (ED). Lower row: end-systolic (ES). On the right side: functional parameters (LVEF, SV and CO) obtained from CMR imaging. * p < 0.05 vs. MI, ** p < 0.01 vs. MI
