Ventricular variables in pulmonary artery-banded and control animals subjected to incremental norepinephrine and dobutamine infusions. LV: left ventricle. RV: right ventricle. PRSW: preload recruitable stroke work. ESPVR: end-systolic pressure volume relationship. Ea: arterial elastance. Pmax: maximum ventricular pressure. #Significant difference between the effect of norepinephrine and dobutamine infusions in control. *Significant difference between the effect of norepinephrine and dobutamine infusions in pulmonary artery-banded animals. Bars and associated p-values indicate differences at specific time points in groups were a significant between-group differences was detected. Grey square: control. Black circle: pulmonary artery banding. Dotted lines indicate baseline 1 level. Data presented as mean (SD)
