Figure 1
Cardiac output with high-dose micafungin (10–50 mg/kg) compared to saline control. Preventilation measurements of cardiac output are represented as a percent change from baseline relative to time (20 min antifungal infusion and 30 min observation period). Values represent mean cardiac output decrease from baseline ± standard deviation
