Values are expressed as mean±SEM. P values are based on paired tests (versus
admission). LVEDVI: Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Volume Index; LVESVI: Left
Ventricular End-Systolic Volume Index; LVEF: Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction;
SV: Stroke Volume; MNSER: Mean Normalized Systolic Ejection Rate; Psyst: LV
systolic pressure; ESV: End-Systolic Volume |
