LV echocardiography parameters in sham and ACF at 21weeks. LV diameter in diastole and systole (LVDd and LVDs, respectively); Posterior wall thickness in diastole and systole (PWTd and PWTs, respectively); Percent fractional shortening (%FS); Eccentric dilatation index (2xPWTd/LVDd); Mitral E/A ratio. Data are expressed as mean±SEM.
