Cardiac performance of the SGCD^−/− cloned pigs.

	Age (weeks)	Body weight (kg)	LVDd (mm)	LVDs (mm)*	IVSth (mm)*	PWth (mm)*	LVEF (%)*
M38-3	5	5.6	27	21	4	4	49
M38-4	5	9.8	31	22	5	5	60
M38-5	5	9.3	28	18	3	4	67
WT 1	5	13.3	30	14	6	6	85
WT 2	5	14.5	27	13	7	6	85
WT 3	5	15.4	35	17	7	7	82

M38-3, 4, 5 SGCD^−/−, WT wild type, LVDd left ventricular diastolic dimension, LVDs left ventricular systolic dimension, IVSth interventricular septum thickness, PWth left ventricular posterior wall thickness, LVEF left ventricular ejection fraction.

*Values in the SGCD^−/− group significantly differ from those in the WT group (LVDs: P = 0.029, IVSth: P = 0.016, PWth: P = 0.013, LVEF: P = 0.036).
