Values are means ± SD; n, number of mice. WT, wild-type; NT, normothermia; TH, therapeutic hypothermia; LVPmax, maximum left ventricular pressure; dP/dtmax, maximum rate of change in left ventricular pressure; τ, diastolic relaxation time constant; PetCO2, partial pressure end-tidal CO2; CC rate, chest compression rate; DBP, diastolic blood pressure during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR); ROSC, return of spontaneous circulation.

*

P < 0.05, statistically significant difference by Student's t-test.

Calculated for subset of animals achieving ROSC.
