Body weight: *different from normoxia (p < 0.05). Left ventricle: *different from normoxia (IH‐3: p = 0.018; IH‐5: p = 0.04). Left ventricle/tibia length ratio *different from normoxia (IH‐3: p = 0.003; IH‐5: p = 0.04) #different from IH‐3 (IH‐1: p = 0.02; IH‐2: p = 0.005). N = 10‐15/group. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM.
