Acute Pulmonary Embolism Decreases Adenosine Plasma Levels in Anesthetized Pigs

Figure 3

Right ventriculopulmonary arterial (PA) coupling efficiency assessed as the ratio of ventricular end-systolic elastance (Ees) to effective arterial elastance (Ea) at baseline and after gradual pulmonary embolism (mean ± s.e.m, 𝑛 = 1 0 ). Gradual embolism markedly and persistently decreased Ees/Ea. * 𝑃 < . 0 5 versus baseline.
