Figure 3 Cardiac output, PCWP and SVR of the dogs in the chronic BNP group (treated HF) on day 11 or rapid ventricular pacing compared with dogs with untreated HF on day 11 of rapid ventricular pacing. *p < 0.05 vs. untreated HF. BNP = brain natriuretic peptide; CO = cardiac output; HF = heart failure; PCWP = pulmonary capillary wedge pressure; SVR = systemic vascular resistance.
