Figure 2

Representative data of LV pressure–time curves (a), normalized LV pressure (LVP)–time curves (b), and comparison of mean logistic time constants (c) at mLVV at 32 °C (hypothermia, n = 10), 37 °C (normothermia, n = 13), and 42 °C (hyperthermia, n = 10). These data obviously showed decreased maximal LVP and reduced duration of LV relaxation time with increasing cardiac temperature. Values are presented as means ± SD. *p < 0.05 vs. 32 °C, †p < 0.05 vs. 37 °C.
