  • Pressure volume loop hemodynamic data were measured from left ventricular apex at baseline, 10 min after i.p. injection of saline, and 10 min after i.p. injection with 1.0 g/kg sodium acetate. Measurements were done at a steady state. n = 5 saline, n = 7 acetate. CO, cardiac output; EF, ejection fraction; Ped, end-diastolic pressure; Pes, end-systolic pressure; Pmax, maximum pressure; SV, stroke volume; SW, stroke work; tau, isovolumetric relaxation constant; Ved, end-diastolic volume; Ves, end-systolic volume. Values are means ± S.D.
