Figure 5

Pressure–volume data. Linear plots of the end systolic pressure–volume relationship (ESVPR; end systolic elastance) and the preload recruitable stroke work (PRSW) in the control group and the adenosine, lidocaine and magnesium (ALM) group at baseline and at the end of the study. (A) Linear plot of ESVPR in the control group at baseline and at the end of the study. (B) Linear plot of ESPVR in the adenosine, lidocaine and magnesium (ALM) group at baseline and at the end of the study. (C) Linear plot of PRSW in the control group at baseline and at the end of the study. (D) Linear plot of PRSW in the ALM group at baseline and at the end of the study. Both the end-systolic pressure–volume relationship and the preload recruitable stroke work are defined by a slope and a volume axis intercept taken from data presented in Table 4 and are presented since changes in the slope and intercept can be viewed simultaneously. *Significant difference at the end of the study. LV, left ventricular.
