Figure 2

Effect of Intralipid® 20% (10 ml/kg) or normal saline on left ventricular hemodynamic variables including left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP, A), heart rate (HR, B), maximum rate of intraventricular pressure increase (+dP/dtmax, C), and maximum rate of intraventricular pressure decrease (-dP/dtmax, D) in an in vivo rat model. Control group: normal saline (10 ml/kg) was infused intravenously. Values are expressed as the percentage of baseline hemodynamic variables before administration of normal saline or Intralipid® and are shown as means ± SD (n = 10/group). n indicates the number of rats. **P < 0.01 and *P < 0.05 versus control.
