Figure 5

Vagal control of ventricular function measured by changes of left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) in response to different frequencies of left vagal efferent nerve stimulation in anesthetized sham and CHF rats. (A) Representative recordings demonstrating change of LVSP in response to 20 Hz of left vagal efferent nerve stimulation in 14-week sham and CHF rats. (B,C) Quantitative data for changes of LVSP and LV dP/dtmax in response to different frequencies (1–100 Hz) of left vagal efferent nerve stimulation in 3, 8, and 14-week sham and CHF rats. Data are mean ± SEM; n = 5 rats in each group. *P < 0.05 vs. age-matched sham rats.
