cardiovascular system
N |
• anesthetized mice exhibit normal blood pressure
• mice exhibit normal chamber geometry and dimensions
|
• longer slack sarcomere length in myocytes in a relaxing solution
• reduced passive and titin-based diastolic stiffness
|
• prolonged deceleration time of the E wave suggests a reduced diastolic left ventricular chamber stiffness
|
• in conscious mice
• however, anesthetized mice exhibit normal contractility
|
• in conscious mice
• reduced Frank-Starling mechanism
• greater decrease in fractional shortening in phenylephrine-treated mice
• however, anesthetized mice exhibit normal contractility
