Table 2. Baseline Values and Effects of Propofol on Myocardial Performances and Coronary Blood Flow in the SHAM (n = 10) and in the Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Groups, LVH1(n = 10) and LVH2(n = 10)
Data are mean ± SD.
*P < 0.05 versus baseline value.
†P < 0.05 versus left-ventricular hypertrophy with a “normal” left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVH1; baseline value only).
‡P < 0.05 versus sham-operated group (SHAM; baseline value only).
LVEDP = left ventricular end-diastolic pressure; LVH2= left ventricular hypertrophy with a “high” LVEDP (see text for explanation); LVESP = left ventricular end-systolic pressure; NS = not significant; dP/dtmax, dP/dtmin= maximal positive- and negative-pressure derivatives; CBF = coronary blood flow.
