Fig.4From: Lactate infusion elevates cardiac output through increased heart rate and decreased vascular resistance: a randomised, blinded, crossover trial in a healthy porcine modelAfterload, contractility and preload. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Arterial elastance (Ea), end systolic elastance (Ees) and end diastolic volume (EDV) for both groups during the study period shown on graph A, B and C, respectively. The grey masked area marks the washout periodBack to article page
