Figure 1. Effect of ethanol exposure on cardiac function: Effect of acute ethanol exposure on cardiac contractile function using a Langendorff perfusion system in FVB and ADH mice.

A: Left ventricular developing pressure (LVDP); B and C: Maximal velocity of pressure development (+dP/dt) and decline (−dP/dt). Mean ± SEM, n = 5–10 hearts per group, * p<0.05 vs. FVB, # p<0.05 vs. FVB-EtOH group.
