Figure 6 Myocardial systolic function in rats with POH. The ex vivo stress ( ${sigma}$ )–strain relationship exhibits depression in both POH groups ( $~$ 25% lower than that in the control group) (top). The slope of this relationship (Eⁿ) is similar in both POH groups. Myocardial function in the POH-HF and POH-NHF groups was similar. *p < 0.05 vs. control group. Abbreviations as in Figure 1.
