Echocardiography of 14-week-old rats with chronic volume overload 6 weeks after surgery. (A) Measurements of interventricular septum (IVS dia), posterior wall thickness (PWT dia), and calculated ratio of posterior wall thickness over left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (PWT dia/LVEDD). ∗∗, P < 0.01; ∗∗∗, P < 0.001 vs. sham-operated animals; ##, P < 0.01; ###, P < 0.001 vs. wild-type shunt animals; $, P < 0.05 vs. sham-operated wild-type animals (n = 7–10 per group). TG, transgenic rats; WT, wild-type control. (B) Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), end-systolic diameter (LVESD), and ejection fraction (EF%). ∗∗∗, P < 0.001 vs. sham-operated animals; ###, P < 0.001 vs. wild-type shunt animals; $, P < 0.05; $$, P < 0.01 vs. sham-operated wild-type animals (n = 7–10 per group).
