Hemodynamic parameters during myocardial infarction induction

	Vehicle	Metoprolol	p value
Baseline (before myocardial infarction induction)
Heart rate (beats per min)	76.6 ± 9.5	76.2 ± 9.9	0.860
Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)	113.1 ± 8.0	113.5 ± 7.8	0.821
Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg)	71.5 ± 5.8	69.1 ± 7.1	0.079
Post-reperfusion
Heart rate (beats per min)	91.8 ± 9.6	90.9 ± 7.8	0.612
Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)	88.8 ± 9.6	87.5 ± 9.9	0.498
Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg)	58.8 ± 6.3	56.8 ± 6.1	0.125

Data from animals in different ischemia duration protocols were pooled according to treatment allocation (metoprolol or vehicle)

Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation unless otherwise noted
