Fig 3 Line graphs showing left ventricular (LV) pressure (LVP), LV dP/dtmax and cardiac output (CO) for each experiment in rabbits with chronically compromised LV function. Measurements after invasive instrumentation were performed during baseline conditions and during inhalation of 70% xenon. Xenon produced a small but consistent decrease of LVP, dP/dtmax and CO.
