Table 5. Comparison of anatomical and functional characteristics of the TG and Non-TG mice.

Non-TG (n = 8) TG (n = 7)
Body weight, g 36.8±1.2 37.5±1.2
Systolic blood pressure, mmHg 93±2 97±2
Heart rate, bpm 633±22 625±13
LV weight/body weight, mg/g 3.40±0.17 2.95±0.11
Atrial weight/body weight, mg/g 0.25±0.01 0.39±0.05*
Lung weight/body weight, mg/g 4.12±0.25 4.27±0.13
Echocardiography
LV end-diastolic dimension, mm 3.76±0.10 3.84±0.11
PWd, mm 0.98±0.03 0.95±0.04
Fractional shortening, % 41±2 43±1

Data are mean ± SEM. LV indicates left ventricular; and PWd, LV posterior wall thickness at end-diastole.
