Analysis of variance	F statistic	43.33	51.62	31.81
Analysis of variance	P value	.0001	.0001	.0001
P_BONF^* = .0167	PO vs control	.0001	.0001	.0001
	VO vs control	.2295	.0001	.3140
	Ischemia vs control	.0355	.0038	.0004

SD, Standard deviation; PO, pressure overload; VO, volume overload. Values significantly different from control are presented in boldface.

ANOVA with Bonferroni’s inequality. For the 3 comparisons, a conservative critical value for the modified t statistics is given by using a significance level, P_BONF, of (P/3) = (.05/3) = .0167.
