cardiovascular system
N |
• the cardiovascular phenotypes reported were observed in the G1-G4 generations of a C3H/HeJ backcross; penetrance is low so G3 crosses with C57BL/6J and 129S1/SvImJ were used to maintain phenotype.
|
• aortic hypertrophy noted in pathology findings
|
• pathology findings include aortic valve endocardiosis
|
• ventricular hypertrophy noted in pathology findings
|
• ventricular dilation noted in pathology findings
|
• mice exhibit high ascending aortic peak blood velocity waveforms, stroke distance and mean velocity in vivo; ultrabiomicroscope ultrasound analysis indicates a narrow outflow tract with myocardial hypertrophy
