(a) Preparation of the hearts from the control group (a1) and the TAC group (a2). (b) Left ventricular apical biopsy of the control group ((b1), HE staining 400x magnification) and the TAC group ((b2), HE staining 400x magnification). (c) Pathological section of the largest cross-section of the control group (c1) and the TAC group (c2). (d) Single ventricular myocytes from the control group (d1) and the TAC group (d2). (e) Typical echocardiography images from the control group (e1) and the TAC group (e2). Eight weeks after the TAC surgery, the cardiac structure and function were measured through echocardiography. We evaluated the cardiac systolic and diastolic functions by measuring the left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LPWD) of the control group and the TAC group (c3). **P < 0.01 versus the control group.
