Figure 3
In vivo cardiac physiology in post-MI rabbits. Hemodynamic measurements at post-MI day 3 in the experimental groups MI + saline (n = 11), filled diamonds; MI + EPO (n = 12), filled squares; and normal sham rabbits (n = 5), filled triangles. Measurements were taken at baseline (0) (see Table 1) and after progressive ISO stimulation. Data is the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 versus MI + saline; ^†P < 0.05 versus sham (ANOVA). (a) Global cardiac function measured by LV dP/dt_max. (b) LV relaxation as measured by LV dP/dt_min. (c) Heart rate. (d) LVEDP (EDP).
