Fig. 6From: Pharmacological inhibition of the cysteine protease cathepsin C improves graft function after heart transplantation in ratsEffect of BI-9740 on left-ventricular (LV) graft function after heart transplantation (HTX). A Left-ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), B developed pressure, C maximal slope of systolic pressure increment (dP/dtmax), D rate pressure product, and E maximal slope of diastolic pressure decrement (dP/dtmin) were measured at different LV volumes. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 vs. HTX. n = 11–12 rats/groupBack to article page
