From: Prevention of airway hyperresponsiveness induced by left ventricular dysfunction in rats
Changes in the end-expiratory lung volume (EELV), its value normalized to body weight (Normalized EELV) and the specific airway resistance (SRaw) before (W0) and 8 weeks after LVD induction (W8) in rats that underwent sham surgery (Group C), and in rats with a LVD without subsequent treatment (Group I) or supplemented with treatment with calcium channel (Group ID) or ACE blockers (Group IE). Thin dashed lines with small symbols: individual animals; thick lines with large symbols: group means. *: p < 0.05 W0 vs. W8.
