Within 24 h of CL, echocardiographic assessments revealed that the infarct size (%IZ, Figure 6A) and the degree of cardiac dysfunction as indicated by reduced LVEF (Figure 6B) and increased LVEDV (Figure 6C) was not significantly different between HF + Scr siRNA and HF + IL-17RA siRNA groups. This evidence concerns the gene IL17RA and hydrops fetalis.
