  1. Values are the means ± SE. LVDP, left ventricular developed pressure; dP/dt max and dP/dt min, maximum and minimum first derivatives of developed pressure; Diast ratio, diastolic fura-2 fluorescence ratio; Ca-T amp, amplitude of Ca2+ transient; a.u., arbitrary unit; TTP, time-to-peak Ca2+ transient; DT50, 50% decay-time of Ca2+ transient, DT100, 100% decay-time of Ca2+ transient. Background autofluorescence was subtracted for fura-2 fluorescence study. * p < 0.05 vs db/+ mice
