cardiovascular system
• t-tubules are enlarged and cell-cell junctions are widened with excess convolutions
• focal loss of myofibrils
|
• mild intercalated disc disruption
|
• the left atrial cross-sectional area is increased
|
• the sphericity index, the ratio of the short-to long-axis dimensions of the left ventricle, is lower
|
• diffuse interstitial and perivascular fibrosis in the ventricular myocardium
• however, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is not seen
|
• mice exhibit diastolic dysfunction with preserved systolic function by 12 weeks of age
|
• mice exhibit increased early (E) and late (A) diastolic velocities (E/A) ratio at 6 and 12 weeks of age and signs of impaired diastolic filling of the left ventricle including decreased end-diastolic volume and internal dimensions
|
• 27.6% of mice exhibit arrhythmias, including premature atrial contractions, premature ventricular contractions, and type II second-degree atrioventricular block
|
• 3.4% of mice exhibit type II second-degree atrioventricular block
|
• T-wave duration is decreased
• however, heart rate, pulse, pulse rate, and QRS durations are normal
