Figure 2. Hemodynamic measurements of the effects of PH and sac/val treatment on (A) RV maximum pressure, (B) stroke volume, (C) heart rate, (D) dp/dt max, (E) dp/dt min, (F) PA elastance (Ea), (G) RV elastance (Ees), and (H) ratio of RV to PA elastance (EesEa).

Figure 2

Sac/val treatment significantly lowered RV maximum pressure (Pmax), decreased the load‐dependent measure of contractility (dp/dtmax), increased the load‐dependent measure of relaxation (dp/dtmin) and decreased PA elastance (Ea) in addition to preventing RV‐PA uncoupling. Horizontal line (―) and cross (✕) representing median and mean of distributions, respectively. Kruskal–Wallis tests with pairwise Wilcoxon rank sum post hoc testing. *P<0.05 compared with control, P<0.05 compared with PH. dpdtmax and min indicates maximum and minimum of the time derivative of pressure; BPM, beats per minute; PA, pulmonary artery; PH, pulmonary hypertension; RV, right ventricle; RVU, relative volume units; and Sac/Val, sacubitril/valsartan.
