Figure 3 Time Course of Hemodynamic Parameters in Study 1

The p value by 2-way analysis of variance: group difference <0.001 for peak positive first derivative of left ventricular pressure (LVdP/dt_max). *p < 0.001 versus normothermia group at the same stage by Bonferroni's multiple-comparison t test. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. CO = cardiac output; HR = heart rate; MAP = mean arterial pressure; Tau = time constant of left ventricular relaxation.
