Left-ventricular systolic and diastolic function. Assessment of (a) ejection fraction, (b) maximal slope of the systolic pressure increment , (c) maximal slope of the diastolic pressure decrement , and (d) time constant of left-ventricular pressure decay Tau-g. Data is expressed as mean ± SEM. versus W + sham. MI indicates myocardial infarction; GK: Goto-Kakizaki; W: Wistar.
