Comparison of the effects of allopurinol and dobutamine on myocardial efficiency in dogs with pacing-induced heart failure. Compared with baseline, allopurinol significantly improves efficiency whereas dobutamines significantly decreases it. Solid symbols represent mean±SEM. *p < 0.05 vs dobutamine.
