Metabolic Parameters and Norepinephrine in Groups A and B After Pacing
| Parameter | Group A | Group B |
|---|---|---|
| NEFA (A − V) (mEq/L) | 0.05 ± 0.08 | 0.12 ± 0.05 |
| Blood sugar (A − V) (mg/dL) | 10.3 ± 9.6 | 6.0 ± 4.4 |
| Lactate consumption (%) | 45.3 ± 15.8 | 22.7 ± 13.5 |
| Norepinephrine (pg/mL) | 316 ± 42 | 516 ± 477 |
NEFA = nonesterified fatty acid; A − V = arterial − venous difference.
Values are expressed as mean ± SD. No parameter reached statistical significance.
