Table 1. Parameters of cardiac function in cardiomyocyte-Cpr-null mice.

Body and heart weights were measured in 2-month-old male mice (n = 10–11 for each strain). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate were measured by a noninvasive blood pressure acquisition system (n = 4–5 for each strain). The values presented are means ± SD. There was no significant difference between the wild-type and null groups for any of the parameters measured (p > 0.05, Student’s t-test).

	Body weight (g)	Heart weight (mg)	Heart/body weight (mg/g)	Systolic blood pressure (mm Hg)	Diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg)	Heart rate (b/min)
Wild-type	29.4 ± 2.2	189 ± 18	6.4 ± 0.3	151 ± 8	112 ± 8	543±111
Null	29.2 ± 4.3	196 ± 38	6.7 ± 0.5	159 ± 21	124 ± 22	551 ± 91
