Fig. 6From: Assessment of syndecan-4 expression in the hearts of Trypanosoma cruzi-infected mice and human subjects with chronic Chagas disease cardiomyopathyComparison of inflammation, fibrosis and syndecan-4 expression in the hearts of subjects with end-stage cardiomyopathy. Heart samples of subjects with Chagas disease (n = 7), ischemic cardiomyopathy (n = 5) and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (n = 8). a, Number of inflammatory cells/mm2 (Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance, P = 0.035). b, Percentage of myocardial fibrosis (ANOVA, P = 0.610). c, Number of syndecan-4+ blood vessels/mm2 (Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance, P = 0.466)Back to article page
