Table 2 Values of cardiac function parameters which are presented as mean ± SD

Cardiac function parameters	Day 1	Day 3	Day 7	Day 21
End diastolic volume (mm³)	48.4 ± 20.7	47.1 ± 24.6	72.9 ± 26.7	90.3 ± 30.2*,^□
End systolic volume (mm³)	22.7 ± 13.0	21.9 ± 13.8	39.9 ± 17.6	58.0 ± 18.5**,^□□
Ejection Fraction (%)	0.55 ± 0.12	0.56 ± 0.09	0.46 ± 0.09	0.35 ± 0.04**,^□□
Cardiac output (mm³)	14,570 ± 3680	15,140 ± 5770	20,280 ± 8130*	19,800 ± 8680
Heart rate (bpm)	580.2 ± 82.5	599.0 ± 64.9	615.5 ± 48.0	632.0 ± 52.3

Differences between time points of different cardiac measures were analyzed by One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc test (*=P<0.05 for difference to day 1) (^□=P<0.05, ^□□=P<0.01 for difference to day 3)
