Biventricular function. (A) LV MPI, (B) RV MPI, (C) LV E/e′, and (D) RV E/e′. Data are mean with error bars showing SD. Baseline, before administration of dexmedetomidine; 20 minutes, 20 minutes after dexmedetomidine administration; 40 minutes, 40 minutes after dexmedetomidine administration; 60 minutes, 60 minutes after dexmedetomidine administration. ∗P < 0.05 compared with Control group, †P < 0.01 compared with Control group, and ‡P < 0.05 compared with Baseline. LV E/e′ = the ratio of peak early diastolic transmitral inflow velocity to early diastolic mitral annular velocity, LV MPI = left ventricular myocardial performance index, RV E/e′ = the ratio of peak early diastolic transtricuspid inflow velocity to early diastolic tricuspid annular velocity, RV MPI = right ventricular myocardial performance index.
