Heart failure rate in mice aged 8 weeks after 2-week and 5-week TAC.
TAC duration (week) | C57BL/6J | C57BL/6N | P value |
---|---|---|---|
2 | 20% (2/10) | 25% (3/12) | 1.000 |
5 | 25% (2/8) | 100% (5/5) | 0.021 |
P value | 1.000 | 0.009 |
Heart failure with reduced systolic function was defined as having dyspnea, body weight loss (approximately 10% decrease), increased wet lung weight and reduced fractional shortening on echocardiography compared with sham controls.
