| LVSP (mmHg) | LVEDP (mmHg) | +dp/dt (mmHg/s) | −dt/dt (mmHg/s) | Tau (ms) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 135 ± 25 | 2.5 ± 2.2 | 8059 ± 2028 | −6864 ± 1991 | 13.7 ± 2.7 |
| Equal | 143 ± 11 | 3.2 ± 1.9 | 8056 ± 888 | −7322 ± 814 | 13.1 ± 1.6 |
| Splenda | 146 ± 19 | 6.1 ± 2.9* | 7804 ± 1005 | −6817 ± 579 | 14.5 ± 1.4 |
Notes.
- LVSP
- left ventricular systolic pressure
- LVEDP
- LV end-diastolic pressure
- +dp/dt
- maximal positive change in pressure over time
- −dp/dt
- maximal negative change in pressure over time
- Tau
- Left ventricular relaxation time constant
