cardiovascular system
• hearts exhibit cellular hypertrophy, myocyte disorganization and small vessel pathology
|
• hearts exhibit myocyte disorganization
|
• heart mass is 40% greater than in wild-type mice at 10 months, but not 2 months of age, indicating development of cardiac hypertrophy
• hypertrophy is restricted to the left ventricle and is not seen in the right ventricle or atria
|
• hearts exhibit small vessel pathology, with hypertrophied vessels in 10 week old mice
|
• mitral valves are thickened with fibrous plaques, and frequent thrombus formation
|
• 1 of 6 mice show tricuspid valve pathology, involving the septal leaflet with a fibrous plaque on the right ventricular septal wall
|
• systolic anterior wall thickness is greater in 6 month old females
• however, no hypertrophy of the posterior wall in systole or diastole is seen
|
• ventricular myocytes exhibit reduced rates of relaxation after flash photolysis of diazo 2
|
• echocardiograms of 6 month old females indicate asymmetric anterior wall hypertrophy
• however, systolic function, as assessed by left ventricular shortening fraction, does not differ from wild-type mice
|
• ventricular myocytes exhibit decreased calcium sensitivity of tension
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• frequent thrombus formation in mitral valves
|
muscle

growth/size/body
• heart mass is 40% greater than in wild-type mice at 10 months, but not 2 months of age, indicating development of cardiac hypertrophy
