Recipient hemodynamics following CSS and HTx. Changes in a mean arterial pressure (mmHg); b heart rate (bpm); c vasopressor dependency index (mmHg⁻¹); d arterial lactate (mmol/L); e fluid balance (mL) CSS and HTx. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 4/group. Top F and p values on each graph represent effect of time, and bottom F and p values represent differences between BSD vs. sham over time. B Baseline, ST stabilisation 1 h following completion of instrumentation procedures in recipient, CPB—establishment of cardiopulmonary bypass, 0H—successful weaning from CPB
