Left ventricular diastolic properties before (baseline) and 1 and 6 wk after induction of acute MI in pigs

	Baseline	Week 1	Week 6
EDPVR β (mm Hg/mL)	0.03 ± 0.005	0.05 ± 0.01^a	0.1 ± 0.01^a ^b
dP/dt_min (mm Hg/s)	−1093 ± 33	−1024 ± 32	−890 ± 32^a ^b
τ (ms)	56.5 ± 1.8	68.9 ± 1.8^a	62 ± 1.8^b

dP/dt_min, peak of pressure decay; EDPVR, end-diastolic pressure–volume relationship based on the β coefficient; τ, time constant of isovolumic relaxation

P < 0.05 compared with baseline value.

P < 0.05 compared with value at 1 wk after MI.
