Figure 2From: Pharmacological postconditioning with sevoflurane after cardiopulmonary resuscitation reduces myocardial dysfunctionMyocardial dysfunction and damage. At baseline (BL) and 1, 2, 4 and 24 hours after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), left ventricular ejection fraction (A), myocardial performance index (B) and E/A ratio (the ratio between early (diastolic, E) and late (atrial, A) ventricular filling velocity) (C) were evaluated by transesophageal echocardiography, and cardiac troponin T serum values (D) were quantified in the propofol (CONTROL) and sevoflurane (SEVO) groups. #P < 0.05 vs CONTROL.Back to article page
