Figure 2. Study protocol.
Figure shows the study design and allocation of animals to each model. The results for each phase of the procedure are provided as well as the ultimate composition of the primary pacing groups and controls. The groups identified with a dark solid box around them are all included in the primary pacing analysis. The two groups with dashed line-boxes represent additional controls +/− RV pacing for 2 weeks. RVP – right ventricular pacing; NSR – normal sinus rhytym; AP – atrial pacing.
