Hydrogen improves cardiac dysfunction in rats induced by myocardial I/R. Myocardial injury and hydrogen treatment was performed as outlined in Fig. 1. (A) -dp/dtmax, (B) +dp/dtmax, (C) LVEF and (D) LVEDP were measured. Values are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean (n=6 rats per group). *P<0.05 vs. control group; and #P<0.05 vs. I/R group. I/R, ischemia/reperfusion; -dp/dtmax, maximal rate of the decrease of left ventricular pressure; +dp/dtmax, maximal rate of the increase of left ventricular pressure; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVEDP, left ventricular ejection fraction; Con, control.
