Figure 3 Hemodynamic parameters in post-myocardial infarction (MI) animals are best when the rats are acutely treated with a seven-day continuous infusion of high-dose brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) (cross-hatched bars), as compared to infusion with saline (empty bars) or low-dose BNP (ruled bars). The hemodynamics were measured 8 weeks after the experimental MI and 7 weeks after completion of the infusion. Adapted from Xydas et al. (5) with permission.
