cardiovascular system
• intercalated disk shows gaps between both membranes with loss of cell-to-cell adhesion and eventually complete rupture of the disks
• defects in desmosome integrity, with 10 month old mice showing desmosome disassembly and adhesion reduction
• right ventricle outflow tract is dilated at 7 and 12 months of age
• decrease in left ventricle shortening at 7 and 12 months of age
• echocardiography of 7 month old sedentary mice shows a reduction in left ventricle systolic function, with decreased left ventricle fractional shortening, and changes in right ventricle function and structure
• right ventricle systolic dysfunction, likely leading to a decreased ability to raise pulmonary pressure
• electrical programmed stimulation induces ventricular tachycardia in 74% of sedentary mice compared to 31% of wild-type mice indicating increased susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias
• however, no differences are seen in training-dependent arrhythmia induction
• atrio-ventricular conduction assessment shows a progressive prolongation of the Atrial-His conduction (A-H interval)
• in 3, 7, and 12 month old mice
• prolonged QRS in 3, 7, and 12 month old mice
• however, no differences in heart rate, P-wave or QTc duration are seen
• aged mice develop arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy
• however, however, mice do not exhibit cardiac hypertrophy and no evidence of collagen deposition or fatty tissue replacement in the heart

cardiovascular system
• mice exhibit progressive structural right ventricle remodeling, with 12 month old mice showing right ventricle outflow tract and right ventricle diameter and area dilation
• 12 month old, but not 7 month old, mice show right ventricle outflow tract dilation
• long-term physical activity promotes right ventricle outflow tract dilation
• mice show progressive right ventricle dilation from 7 to 12 months of age, indicating progressive structural remodeling
• endurance training and aging trigger right ventricular enlargement
• however, no changes in left ventricle structure and function are seen
• aged mice exhibit right ventricle dysfunction, with an increase in right ventricle end-diastolic area parasternal axis view and a decrease in tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion at 7 and 12 months of age
• electrical programmed stimulation induces ventricular tachycardia in 54% of sedentary mice compared to 31% of wild-type mice indicating increased susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias
• however, no differences are seen in endurance training-dependent arrhythmia induction
• atrio-ventricular conduction assessment shows a prolongation of the Atrial-His conduction (A-H interval) in 7 month old mice
• in 3, 7, and 12 month old mice
• 7 month old exercised trained mice show a greater PR interval prolongation than controls
• aged mice develop mild arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy
• however, mice do not exhibit cardiac hypertrophy and no evidence of collagen deposition or fatty tissue replacement in the heart

homeostasis/metabolism
• long-term physical activity promotes right ventricle outflow tract dilation and right ventricular enlargement
• however, exercise results in similar cardiac hypertrophy and QRS prolongation as in wild-type mice

muscle
• aged mice develop mild arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy
• however, mice do not exhibit cardiac hypertrophy and no evidence of collagen deposition or fatty tissue replacement in the heart
