Fig 2 Systemic haemodynamics of study patients. Data are presented as mean values (sd). BL, baseline; HR, heart rate; CI, cardiac index; SVRI, systemic vascular resistance index; LVSWI, left-ventricular stroke work index; *P<0.05 Group 1 vs Group 2; †P<0.05 Group 1 vs Group 3; ‡P<0.05 Group 2 vs Group 3; §P<0.05 vs BL (in all groups). Baseline data were obtained at the fixed norepinephrine dose of 0.9 μg kg−1 min−1.
