cardiovascular system
abnormal heart morphology ( J:130825 )
• after 21 days of thoracic aortic constriction (TAC), mutant hearts display only a 27.7% increase in heart weight/tibia length, compared to 59% in wild-type hearts
• mutant hearts undergo less cardiac remodeling than wild-type in response to TAC
• mutants do not display fibrosis as result of pressure overload hypertrophy while extensive fibrosis is observed in wild-type
abnormal myocardial fiber morphology ( J:130825 )
• after pressure overload, mutant cardiomyocytes exhibit a considerably smaller increase in cross-sectional area composed to wild-type cardiomyocytes
abnormal heart size ( J:130825 )
• 21 days after TAC, mutant hearts show a smaller increase in heart weight/tibia length ratio versus wild-type
• after TAC, LV end-systolic diameter of mutant hearts is only marginally increased compared to wild-type hearts after TAC
decreased cardiac muscle contractility ( J:130825 )
• mutant hearts display a high level of resistance to reduction in heart muscle contractility after 21 days of TAC, whereas wild-type hearts show pronounced reduction in contractility
