Figure 2From: Levosimendan limits reperfusion injury in a rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model Effects of transient cerebral ischemia and reperfusion on hemodynamics. Changes of heart rate (A, HR) mean arterial pressure (B, MAP) and cerebral blood flow (C, CBF) are displayed. Levosimendan infusion over 20 min was started at 5 min before reperfusion (p values from variance analysis for repeated measurements and post hoc test: * p < 0.05 vs. control).Back to article page
