Figure 5).

Comparison between left (LV) and right ventricular (RV) normalized maximum power at corresponding afterloads. Power was preload (PL) dependent for both ventricles. Bars represent the power of the respective ventricle at the PL where the power was found to be maximal. For LV and for RV there was an analogous dependence on LV afterload (LVAL) and RV afterload (RVAL), respectively. Asterisked brackets indicate significant differences (n=9 at 140, n=8 at 15, n=7 at 110 and 140 cm H₂O, and n=6 for all others)
