Table 2 The effect of escitalopram on myocardial cells apoptosis in rats with depression during myocardium ischemia/reperfusion (mean ± SEM, %)

Group	n	Myocardial cell apoptosis index
D	8	3.08 ± 0.32
D_I/R	8	37.14 ± 4.10*
Escitalopram + D_I/R	8	28.87 ± 3.91*^▲

Note: *P < .01 vs D group; ^▲ P < .01vs D_I/R group.
D group: depression group, D_I/R group: depression with myocardium ischemia/reperfusion, escitalopram + D_I/R group: escitalopram + depression with myocardium ischemia/reperfusion.
