AoSP, aortic systolic pressure; LVSP, left ventricular systolic pressure; HR, heart rate; dp/, maximal rate of left ventricular pressure increase; dp/, maximal rate of left ventricular pressure decrease. n=6 for each group, values are mean ± SD. #p<0.05 versus sham group, p<0.05 versus AAC group. Feno represents fenofibrate, n=6 for each group.
