Table 3. Baseline Values and Effects of Propofol on Myocardial Oxygen Consumption in Healthy Hearts (n = 10) and in Those with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy, LVH¹(n = 8) and LVH²(n = 9)

Data are mean ± SD.

*P < 0.05 versus  baseline value.

†P < 0.05 versus  sham-operated group (SHAM; baseline value only).

NS = not significant; LVH¹= left ventricular hypertrophy with a “normal” left ventricular end-diastolic pressure; LVH²= left ventricular hypertrophy with a “high” left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (see text for explanation); Pao², Pvo²= coronary arterial and venous oxygen pressure; Cvo²= coronary venous oxygen content; Mvo²= myocardial oxygen consumption.
