Figure 2 EDPVRs With and Without ACE-I
Grouped end-diastolic pressure-volume relationships (EDPVR) measured ex vivo from whole hearts. The average EDPVR from patients with LVAD support receiving ACE-I (LVAD ACE-I, open circles) tended to be shifted to the left toward lower volumes compared with the EDPVR from patients with LVAD support without ACE-I (LVAD Control, solid circles). X = nonfailing hearts; solid squares = failing hearts without LVAD support. *p < 0.05 versus CHF without LVAD (analysis of variance). Abbreviations as in Figure 1.
