cardiovascular system
• hearts weigh 9-13% more than in wild-type mice
|
• mice develop exacerbated cardiac dilatation and contractile dysfunction with faster progression to decompensation and higher mortality post aortic banding induced pressure overload, with mice not regaining weight loss at 6 weeks post aortic banding, showing greater absolute left ventricle mass and weight, increased left ventricular inner diameter and left ventricular end-diastolic volume, reduced fractional shortening and left ventricle ejection fraction, and reduced peak mitral inflow velocity and mitral valve inflow deceleration
• left atrial diameter and lung weights are increased at 6 weeks post-aortic banding, suggesting circulatory congestion
• however, mice exhibit normal cardiac dimensions and function at 8-12 weeks of age at baseline
