Abdominal paracentesis drainage ameliorates myocardial injury in severe experimental pancreatitis rats through suppressing oxidative stress

Figure 3 Effect of abdominal paracentesis drainage on echocardiographic and hemodynamic properties. A: Representative M-mode images in groups; B: Heart rate; C: Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (mm); D: Left ventricular end-systolic diameter (mm); E: Ejection fraction (%); F: Fractional shortening (%); G: Systolic pressure (mmHg); H: Diastolic pressure (mmHg). Data indicate the mean ± standard deviation obtained from six animals in each group. ^aP < 0.05 vs sham group; ^cP < 0.05 vs severe acute pancreatitis group. SAP: Severe acute pancreatitis; APD: Abdominal paracentesis drainage.
