Table 1. Ratio of heart weight to body weight and plasma angiotensin II in sham, tachycardia (Tachy) and volume-overload (VOL) HF animals.

	Sham	Tachy	VOL	P value
Heart/body (g/kg)	2.7±0.02	4.2±0.62	4.1±0.5	<0.05
RV/LV (g/g)	0.32±0.03	0.5±0.06	0.5±0.16	<0.05
LV/BW (g/kg)	2.0±0.03	2.8±0.35	2.7±0.17	<0.05
RV/BW (g/kg)	0.65±0.05	1.4±0.3	1.4±0.43	<0.05
Ang II (ng/ml)	0.09±0.08	0.343±0.219	0.263±0.176	<0.05

P value is the comparison of tachycardia and volume-overload groups with sham. RV: right ventricle. LV: left ventricle. BW: body weight Ang II: angiotensin II.
