  • * P < 0.05 compared with value at baseline.

  • P < 0.01 compared with value at baseline.

  • P < 0.01 compared with group A.

  • P < 0.05 compared with group A.

  • CO = cardiac output; PCWP = pulmonary capillary wedge pressure; LVEDV = left ventricular end-diastolic volume; LVESV = left ventricular end-systolic volume; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction.

  • Values are expressed as mean ± SD.
