Conductance catheter measurements of pressures in the RV and LV at end‐systole (Pes) and end‐diastole (Ped)
| Conductance | Sham rabbits (n = 3) | PAB (n = 11) | Sham rats (n = 8) | PAH (n = 5) | TGFβ‐blocker (n = 6) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RV Pes (mmHg) | 16 (3) | 27 (5)** | 23 (2) | 71 (13)§§ | 65 (12)§ |
| LV Pes (mmHg) | 55 (19) | 48 (13) | 78 (14) | 77 (15) | 65 (8) |
| RV Ped (mmHg) | 3 (3) | 7 (4) | 2 (1) | 4 (2) | 3 (2) |
| LV Ped (mmHg) | 11 (4) | 9 (8) | 4 (1) | 6 (7) | 4 (2) |
Results are presented as mean (SD). Sham rabbits versus PAB rabbits: **P < 0.01. Sham rats versus TGFβ blocker rats: § P < 0.01, Sham rats versus PAH rats: §§ P < 0.01, Sham rats versus. TGFβ blocker rats: §§§ P < 0.001. PAB, Pulmonary artery banding; PAH, pulmonary arterial hypertension.
