Values are means ± SE (n = 10). CO: cardiac output; Psa: systemic arterial pressure; Ppa: pulmonary arterial pressure; Pra: right atrial pressure; Ppao: occluded Ppa; Zo: 0-Hz impedance; Zc: characteristic impedance; Ees: end-systolic elastance; Ea: arterial elastance. ^a P < .05 versus baseline; ^b P < .05 versus embolism 1; ^c P < .05 versus embolism 2.
