Figure 1. Ventricular wall thickness was assessed using echocardiography in Wistar rats after TAAC surgery.

Figure 1

(A) Representative ultrasound through left ventricular from rats after Sham operation and transverse abdominal aortic constriction (TAAC)for 4 weeks. (B) Quantitative analysis of echocardiography for the left ventricular posterior wall thickness at end-systole (LVPWs), interventricular septal thickness at end-systole (IVSs), left ventricular posterior wall thickness at end-diastole (LVPWd) and interventricular septal thickness at end-diastole (IVSd), and comparison was performed between TAAC (n = 8) and Sham group(n = 6). Data are presented as means ± SEM. *P<0.05 compared with Sham.
