Figure 3 Evolution of contractility, myocardial relaxation, and chamber compliance. Open circles = uninfected control group; solid circles = infected group. dP/dtmax = slope of maximum derivative of change in systolic pressure over time; dP/dtmin = minimum derivative of change in diastolic pressure over time; NL Eed = normalized end-diastolic volume elastance; NL Ees = normalized end-systolic volume elastance. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01 versus control. n = 5 in each measurement.
