Notes. LVIDS, left ventricular internal dimension in systole; LVIDD, left ventricular internal dimension in diastole; LVPWS, left ventricular systolic posterior wall thickness; LVPWD, left ventricular diastolic posterior wall thickness; IVSS, interventricular septal end-systolic thickness; IVSD, interventricular septal end-diastolic thickness; EF, left ventricular ejection fraction; FS, short-axis fraction; LV mass corrected, corrected left ventricular mass index. Data shown were obtained from eight mice in each group. Data are shown as the mean ± SD. versus the sham group; versus the TAC group.
