Effects of treatment with SS (white bars, n = 11), SSM (gray bars, n = 11), and VSM (black bars, n = 12) on a MBP, mean blood pressure; b HR, heart rate; c cardiac index; d LV + dP/dtmax, maximum dP/dt of left-ventricular pressure; e LVEDP, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure; and f RAP, right atrial pressure in anesthetized rats with CHF (chronic heart failure). The assessment was made at the end of a 7-week treatment (1-week recovery after blood sampling). *P < 0.05 vs. SS group; #P < 0.05 vs. SSM group
