Increased passive compliance of the mdx ventricle. At baseline the end-diastolic pressure-volume relationship indicates that the mdx left ventricle is significantly more compliant than that of C57BL/10. In contrast to C57BL/10, in the mdx heart these passive properties are not altered by dobutamine treatment (A). Representative pressure-volume loops (gray) with end-diastolic pressure-volume relationship (red) for C57BL/10 (B) and mdx (C) hearts. *P < 0.05, difference from baseline C57BL/10 data. ‡P < 0.05, difference from C57BL/10.
