Figure 2From: Mild hypothermia reduces cardiac post-ischemic reactive hyperemia Heart rate and mean arterial pressure during baseline, ischemia and reperfusion. Heart rate (HR) was measured during baseline, ischemia, and reperfusion in both the normothermic (n = 8) and the hypothermic (n = 8) pigs. During the entire period of hypothermia HR was lower in the hypothermic group (A). Mean arterial pressure, expressed as mm/Hg, was similar, and reduced in both groups during ischemia and reperfusion compared to baseline (B).Back to article page
