Values are means ± SE; n = 8 in each group. dA/dt_max, maximum rate of diastolic wall area expansion with respect to time. Except for fractional systolic wall area reduction, all values are expressed as fraction of baseline.

^*P < 0.05 vs. baseline within same group.

^†P < 0.05 and

^‡P < 0.01 vs. control group under same condition.
