Fig. 5

Boxplots of ventricular–arterial coupling and ejection fraction, presented by experimental condition and QECMO (4, 3, 2, 1 L/min). HPV: hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. PE: pulmonary embolism. A Ventricular–arterial coupling during inspiration (VA couplingInsp), calculated from the cardiac cycle with minimal stroke volume. B Ventricular–arterial coupling during expiration (VA couplingExp), calculated from the cardiac cycle with maximum stroke volume. C Ejection fraction during expiration (EFExp), calculated from the cardiac cycle with maximum stroke volume. D Ejection fraction during inspiration (EFInsp), calculated from the cardiac cycle with minimal stroke volume
