Effects of 120 min of acute pressure overload on LV systolic and diastolic function
A, procedure of descending aortic pressure overload. B, LVPmax. C, LV dP/dtmax. D, LV EDP. E, LV dP/dtmin. F, LV Tau. Baseline values were considered as 100% and are indicated by the dashed line. Values at 60 and 120 min are indicated as a percentage of variation relative to baseline. Ten animals per group were considered for analysis. Error bars indicate the mean ± SD. #P < 0.05 vs. baseline *P < 0.05 vs. Cont; †P < 0.05 vs. ITO, ‡P < 0.05 vs. Ex.
