Text: Stroke volume index, cardiac index, and cardiac output decreased in group A patients (39. 4 + / -4. 1 mL/beat/m2 at T0 and 28. 8 + / -5. 2 mL/beat/m2 at T2 ; p < 0. 05 ; 3. 4 + / -0. 6 L/min/m2 at T0 and 1. 9 + / -0. 3 L/min/m2 at T2 ; p < 0. 001 ; 5. 9 + / -0. 9 L/min at T0 and 3. 4 + / -0. 4 L/min at T2 ; p < 0. 001, respectively), whereas in group B patients, changes were negligible (38. 1 + / -7. 0 mL/beat/m2 at T0 v 35. 7 + / -6. 6 mL/beat/m2 at T2 ; (NS) 3. 3 + / -0. 5 L/min/m2 at T0 v 2. 7 + / -0. 3 L/min/m2 at T2 ; (NS) 5. 7 + / -0. 9 L/min at T0 v 4. 7 + / -0. 5 L/min at T2 ; (NS), respectively).
