Heart rate (HR) and pressure recordings. Data obtained in mmHg at baseline, after ischemia/reperfusion (IR) protocol, initial AVP infusions (AVP-initial), mean pressure of 90 mmHg (AVP-90 mmHg) and after drug withdrawal (Withdrawal) (see text for details) (n = 9). MAP, mean arterial pressure; MPAP, mean pulmonary arterial pressure; CVP, central venous pressure. *Significant difference from (IR); †significant difference between (AVP-90 mmHg) and (Withdrawal).
