Pressure–rate index (PRI), left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP), and maximal first derivative of left ventricular pressure (dP/dt_max) in rabbits under control conditions and after animals have been subjected to MI/R treated with vehicle (saline), S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) (1 μmol/kg), Angeli’s salt (AS) (3 μmol/kg), potassium ferricyanide (PF) (10 μmol/kg), or a combination of AS and PF (3 and 10 μmol/kg, respectively). *, P < 0.05, vs. the vehicle-treated rabbits.
