• 45% of 3-month old mutants show longer mitral septal leaflets
|
• exhibit a premature disappearance of the myocardial layer in the tricuspid mural leaflet (present at E14.5 but absent at E15.5)
|
• the posterior annulus fibrosis is displaced downward into the right ventricular cavity in one of six mutants
|
• 36% of 3-month old mutants show longer tricuspid mural leaflets than control valves
|
• 3-month old mutants show significantly decreased left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction and increased LV-end-systolic dimension and LV-end-diastolic dimension
|
• show a 2-fold increase in left atrial pressure consistent with mitral insufficiency
|
• isolated Langendorff perfused mutant hearts show a delta wave with abnormal surface ECG
• hearts with abnormal surface ECG show a base-to-apex activation pattern with evidence of a posterior paraseptal bypass tract
• the annulus fibrosus is disrupted resulting in ventricular preexcitation
|
• 6 of 33 mutants, aged between 2 and 6 months, show absence of PR interval
