Summary of end-diastolic pressure (EDP), left-ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), flow rate (FR), and heart rate (HR) during the baseline perfusion period.

	n	EDP (mmHg)	LVDP (mmHg)	FR (mL/min)	HR (bpm)
145 Na+	16	6.3 ± 5.2	50.6 ± 16.8	11.2 ± 5.9	273.6 ± 57.4
155 Na+	13	6.4 ± 7.0	28.5 ± 10.6*	12.2 ± 8.1	277.4 ± 61.3

All measurements were obtained 25-min post-cannulation.
