Figure 2 (A) Diltiazem and (B) nitroglycerin caused dose-dependent reductions in MVO2 in failing human hearts. There was no difference in the response of the LVAD (solid circles) and HF (open circles) groups to diltiazem or nitroglycerin. *p < 0.05 from baseline. HF = heart failure; LVAD = left ventricular assist device; MVO2 = myocardial oxygen consumption.
