Achieved echocardiography parameters of fetal and adult rat hearts. Worsening of indicators was observed in Iso2 and adult Iso group compared to normal ones. , , and indicated that there were significant differences between such group and control group. LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVFS, left ventricular fractional shortening; LVDD, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension; LVSD, left ventricular end-systolic dimension; HW/TL, heart weight/tibia length ratio.
