cardiovascular system
• hearts display increased left ventricular end systolic and left ventricular end diastolic diameters, indicating ventricular dilation
|
• 8 week old mutants show decreased heart contractility as evidenced by reduced fractional shortening, however show no alteration in anterior and posterior wall thickness or in left ventricular mass
