Values are means±SEM. Numbers of mice tested for blood pressure and heart rate are 9 for untreated control WT, 5 for WT with ivabradine, 10 for untreated dnNRSF‐Tg, and 6 for dnNRSF‐Tg with ivabradine. Numbers of mice tested for echocardiography are 8 for untreated control WT, 3 for WT with ivabradine, 14 for untreated dnNRSF‐Tg, and 13 for dnNRSF‐Tg with ivabradine. Numbers of mice tested for hemodynamic analysis are 3 for each group. Kruskal–Wallis nonparametric ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni correction was used for analysis among the 4 groups. WT indicates wild type; dnNRSF‐Tg, dominant‐negative form of neuron‐restrictive silencer factor transgenic mice; Control, untreated control mice; Iva, mice treated with ivabradine; LVDd, left ventricular diastolic dimension; LVDs, left ventricular systolic dimension; IVST, interventricular septum thickness; PWT, posterior wall thickness; FS, fractional shortening; LVSP, left ventricular systolic pressure; LVEDP, left ventricular end diastolic pressure; dP/dt, first derivative of pressure; ANOVA, analysis of variance.
