Abbreviations: CF, coronary flow; dP/dtmax, baseline left ventricular maximal contractility; dP/dtmin, baseline left ventricular maximal relaxation; HR, heart rate; I/R, ischaemia/reperfusion; LVDP, left ventricular developed pressure, PED, left ventricular end‐diastolic pressure; n = 4‐14 *P < .05 vs Aerobic control; RPP, rate pressure product.

a

After I/R (77 min of the experiment).

b

After ischaemia (first minute of reperfusion).

c

The difference between RPP in 25 and 77 min of the experiment.
