Effects of AM251 on cardiac contractile function. Effect of AM251 on parameters of systolic [left ventricular (LV) end-systolic pressure (LVESP), stroke work, and maximum slope of systolic pressure increment (dP/dtmax)] and diastolic function [LV end- diastolic pressure (LVEDP), minimum slope of systolic pressure increment (dP/dtmin), and relaxation time constant (τ)], measured at 30 min postinjection, is shown. Control and cirrhotic rats were treated with an intravenous bolus of vehicle (open and shaded bars, respectively) or AM251 (3 mg/kg, solid bars). Values are means ± SE; n = 6–8 rats per group. P < 0.05, *control vs. cirrhotic, or #vehicle vs. AM251 value.
