From: Levosimendan is superior to epinephrine on coronary flow for lipid-base resuscitation of bupivacaine-induced asystole in the isolated rat heart

Fig. 3

Coronary flows (CFs), Rate-pressure products (RPPs) in control, epinephrine and levosimendan groups are shown during recovery from bupivacaine-induced asystole (mean ± standard deviation; n = 8 in each group). Notes: Figure 3a, Coronary flows (CFs): Levosimendan group vs. Control group, P < 0.001; Epinephrine group vs. Control group, P = 0.038; Levosimendan group vs. Epinephrine group, P = 0.004. Figure 3b, Rate-pressure products (RPPs): Levosimendan group vs. Control group, P = 0.027; Epinephrine group vs. Control group, P = 0.013; Levosimendan group vs. Epinephrine group, P = 0.946. Abbreviations: Control group: lipid only; Epinephrine group: combined epinephrine + lipid; Levosimendan group: combined levosimendan + lipid
