cardiovascular system
• at 10 to 20 weeks, increased heart/body weight ratios (5.2 0.4 mg/g vs wild-type 3.8 0.1 mg/g)
|
• at 10 to 20 weeks, increased LV chamber end-diastolic dimensions
|
• LV chamber dilation is associated with reduced stroke volume (loop width) and end-systolic elastance
|
• at 10 to 20 weeks, significantly reduced ejection fraction (29 5 % vs wild-type 46 5 %); in addition, V3/V1 myosin ratio is significantly higher
• significantly shortened time course of mutant LV systolic stiffening (elastance), and peaks earlier (27.62.1 ms vs wild-type 47.81.6 ms)
• hearts reached 773% of peak elastance before ejection of peak
• earlier time-to-peak tension in intact RV trabeculae, increased unloaded shortening velocity (Vmax) in skinned muscle strips, and markedly reduced myofilament stiffness and tension at diastolic calcium concentrations
|
• under conditions of isometric contraction, intact RV trabeculae display earlier time-to-peak trabecular tension across various pacing rates, with significant slowing of tension decay rate
• absolute magnitude of systolic force development greater than that of wild-type trabeculae at slower rates
• absolute magnitude of systolic force development normal at physiological rates
|
• rate of pressure decline (-dP/dtmin) significantly reduced (-4842 224 mm Hg/s vs wild-type -9615 488 mm Hg/s)
• normal resting heart rates and a normal maximal rate of pressure rise (dP/dtmax)
