Aortocaval Fistula in Rat: A Unique Model of Volume-Overload Congestive Heart Failure and Cardiac Hypertrophy
Figure 4
(a) A scheme showing pathological cardiac remodeling, eccentric versus concentric hypertrophy. (b) MRI images of hearts from sham controls and rats with aortocaval fistula at different time points. Notice that rats with AV fistula exhibited cardiac hypertrophy dilation compared with sham controls.
