Figure 4 Developed Force Measured From Isolated Myocardial Trabeculae
Developed force (mN/mm2) at baseline (open bars) and during ß-stimulation with isoproterenol (solid bars) in the control and ACE-I groups. Whereas isoproterenol significantly increases developed force, there is no difference between the control and the ACE-I groups. *p < 0.001 versus baseline (Student t test). Abbreviations as in Figure 1.
