Figure 4From: Severe endothelial injury and subsequent repair in patients after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitationPositive correlation of CEC count with duration of CPR. Correlation between circulating endothelial cell (CEC) counts and the duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) showing a significant positive correlation. The rising numbers of CEC in peripheral blood with longer duration of resuscitation suggest a greater extent of endothelial damage during ongoing CPR (correlation coefficient 0.84; P < 0.01).Back to article page
