Figure 2 Cardiac function and cardiac functional recovery after global ischemia and reperfusion in fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and wild-type (WT) control hearts: (A) Aortic flow in ml/min. (B) Left ventricular developed pressure in mm Hg. (C) Maximal rate of positive pressure development (dP/dt_max in mm Hg/s²). (D) Left ventricular diastolic pressure (in mm Hg). *p < 0.05 compared with WT. "Basal" indicates the pre-ischemic period, "L" indicates Langendorff reperfusion, and "+15, +25, +35, +60 min" indicate 15, 25, 35, and 60 min of antegrade reperfusion, respectively.
