Figure 2 Study Protocol in Anesthetized Pigs

Pig hearts were beating at sinus rhythm throughout the protocol. Dyssynchrony-induced post-conditioning was induced by 10 cycles of 30-s right ventricular (RV) pacing (atrial sense, ventricular pace), interspersed with 30 s of sinus rhythm. RVPpostC = right ventricular pacing postconditioning.
