Table 2. The effects of TMZ treatment on lean male hearts subjected to AHF (n = 6).
Treatment group | Heart rate (%) | Sig. | LVDevP (%) | Sig. |
Control | 210.13 ± 127.11 | ns | 1259.06 ± 485.90 | ** *** |
TMZ at CAHF | 28.26 ± 1.48 | 2204.29 ± 355.33 | ||
TMZ at RAHF | 29.74 ± 2.23 | 6025.70 ± 654.65 | ||
Treatment group | LVEDP (%) | Sig. | LVESP (%) | Sig. |
Control | 201.85 ± 36.57 | ns | 211.06 ± 43.49 | ns |
TMZ at CAHF | 160.23 ± 9.38 | 170.36 ± 11.07 | ||
TMZ at RAHF | 158.26 ± 18.72 | 171.80 ± 24.07 |
Data represent the last ten minutes of the RAHF phase and expressed as a percentage of CAHF. Significance is expressed as **p<0.01; ***p<0.001 vs. TMZ (at RAHF). LVDevP: left ventricular developed pressure; LVEDP: left ventricular end diastolic pressure; LVESP: left ventricular end systolic pressure; CAHF: critical acute heart failure; RAHF: recovery acute heart failure; Sig.: significance; ns: not significant.
