Figure 4. Female haemodynamic changes.
A, B-mode image of the ascending aorta (Ao Arch) and pulse wave (PW) Doppler image of the blood flow in the ascending aorta (top panel), and B-mode image of the pulmonary artery (Pul Artery) and PW Doppler image of the blood flow in the pulmonary artery (bottom panel). B–D, Aortic mean gradient pressure (in millimetres of mercury (B), aortic velocity–time integral (VTI) taken from PW Doppler imaging (C) and pulmonary VTI taken from PW Doppler imaging (D), in WT and KO mice; bar graphs show means ± SEM (n = 8), and *P < 0.05.
