The time parameters of ex vivo mouse working hearts under 5 mmHg preload and 55 mmHg afterload showed elongated left ventricular systolic time (total and 50% time to peak pressure, TPT and TP50) and diastolic time (time for 50% and 75% relaxation, TR50 and TR75) at human-like heart rate of 120–130 bpm in the presence of 300 μM lidocaine as compared with that at 480 bpm without lidocaine. N = 4 to 5 hearts.
Values are presented as Mean ± SE.
