Figure 2From: Systolic left ventricular function is preserved during therapeutic hypothermia, also during increases in heart rate with impaired diastolic filling PRSW, EDPVR, SV, and CO. Changes in preload recruitable stroke work, end-diastolic pressure volume relation, stroke volume, and cardiac output at spontaneous and paced heart rates (HR) during normo (■) and hypothermia (□). The effect of HR and temperature were analyzed in a mixed model analysis in which variable = β + β1 (temperature) + β2 (HR) + β3 (temperature × HR). Coefficients and p values are given for each variable.Back to article page
