Altered cardiac function and arrhythmia in viable adult Smad7ΔMH2-/- mice. A, histological analysis showed a very thin wall in the right ventricle in adult Smad7ΔMH2-/- mice (at 9 months old). RA, right atrium; LA, left atrium; RV, right ventricle; LV, left ventricle; and VS, ventricular septum. B, echocardiograph analysis of wild-type and viable Smad7ΔMH2-/- mice (at 3 months old, n = 5). Representative two-dimensional and M-mode images are shown. Measurement of various parameters of cardiac functions is shown in the lower panel, and * stands for p < 0.01. C, ECG analysis of wild-type and viable Smad7ΔMH2-/- mice (at 3 months old). Representative ECG images reveal arrhythmia (arrows) in Smad7 mutant mice.
