Values are means ± SD of rest and PEMI condition during both conditions of heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), end diastolic volume (EDV), left ventricular ejection time (LVET), stroke volume/left ventricular ejection time ratio (SV/LVET), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), systolic arterial pressure, (SAP), diastolic arterial pressure (DAP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP)

#Significantly different compared to Rest (p < 0.05)
