Part A indicating C57BL/6 data, Part B CX3CR1GFP/GFP data; values are mean ± SD.

*p < 0.05.

**p < 0.01,

*** P<0.001; transverse aortic constriction (TAC) versus respective sham, ns = not significant versus respective sham.

#p indicates TAC Wt vs. TAC CX3CR1GFP/GFP; sBP carotis = systolic blood pressure in carotid artery; HR = heart rate; EF = ejection fraction; CO = cardiac output; CI = cardiac index; ESV = end-systolic volume; EDV = end-diastolic volume; dPdtmax is the maximal rate of rise of left ventricular pressure [21].
