Table 2.

Echocardiographic data of the left ventricle in a representative group of Sham rats and CHF rats. LVEDD, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter; LVESD, left entricular end-systolic diameter; IVSd, interventricular septal thickness in diastole; IVSs, interventricular septal thickness in systole; LVPWd, left ventricular posterior wall thickness in diastole; LVPWs, left ventricular posterior wall thickness in systole; FS, fractional shortening; EF, ejection fraction; LV, left ventricular; BW, body weight. Values are mean ± SE.
