Figure 2. Female cardiac measurements by echocardiography.

Figure 2

A, B-mode short-axis image (left panel) of the left ventricle (LV) with papillary muscles (P) visible, and M-mode image (right panel) of the interior of the LV with left ventricular internal dimension at systole and diastole (LVIDs and LVIDd) along with left ventricular anterior and posterior wall at diastole (LVAWd and LVPWd). B, LVIDs and LVIDd dimensions measured in WT and KO hearts. Bar graph shows means ± SEM (n = 13), and *P < 0.05. C, LV mass estimated using M-mode images; bar graph represents means ± SEM (n = 13), and *P < 0.05. D, stroke volume (SV) per beat obtained from M-mode images; bar graph shows means ± SEM (n = 13), and *P < 0.05.
