Hemodynamic changes associated with SCS

	Sham (n = 9)		SCS (n = 10)
	Baseline	30 min	Baseline	30 min
HR, beats/min	71 ± 15	70 ± 15	71 ± 12.0	72 ± 11
LVESP, mmHg	109 ± 8	107 ± 11	108 ± 19	106 ± 18
LVEDP, mmHg	11 ± 4	9 ± 4	9 ± 3	9 ± 3
MAP, mmHg	109 ± 7	109 ± 8	105 ± 20	100 ± 18*
dP/dtmax, mmHg/s	1,802 ± 261	1,807 ± 256	1,511 ± 285	1,480 ± 279
dP/dtmin, mmHg/s	−2,435 ± 601	−2,379 ± 670	−2,335 ± 682	−2,332 ± 648

Values are means ± SE; n, no. of animals. Sham, sham operation; SCS, spinal cord stimulation; HR, heart rate; LVESP, left ventricular end-systolic pressure; LVEDP, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure; MAP, mean arterial pressure; dP/dt_max and dP/dt_min, maximum and minimum rate rise of LV pressure, respectively.

^*P = 0.039 vs. SCS at baseline. All other P values were >0.17.
