Table 1.

Baseline left ventricular function measured in naïve (control) rats and rats 24 h after saline infusion

HR, beats/min LVDP, mmHg +dP/dtmax, mmHg/s −dP/dtmax, mmHg/s N
Control 238.6 ± 9.3 101.9 ± 6.6 2,226.7 ± 258 1,736.8 ± 136 4
Saline 252.9 ± 16.4 102.1 ± 7.2 2,385.0 ± 233 1,778.5 ± 114 7

Values are means ± SE; N = number of rats. HR, heart rate; LVDP, left ventricular developed pressure; +dP/dtmax and −dP/dtmax, LVDP rise and fall, respectively.
