Figure 2

Effects of ECLS on the changes of RM (A), RI (B), and τw/LVET (C). Each line represents a different rat in this study. RM and RI show downward trends, which decreased markedly after ECLS treatment. The τw/LVET ratio tended to slightly increase after ECLS treatment. RI = wave reflection index; RM = wave reflection magnitude; τw/LVET = the ratio of wave transit time to left ventricular ejection period.
