Group	LVPWD (mm)	IVSD (mm)	LVEDD (mm)	LVESD (mm)	LVEF (%)	FS (%)
Model + oe-NC	0.97±0.12	1.36±0.14	3.65±0.84	1.87±0.24	34.18±3.76	17.08±1.19
Model + oe-Sirt1	1.42±0.16*	0.68±0.12*	1.62±0.23*	0.97±0.15*	70.31±7.79*	24.07±3.06*

Note: *p < 0.05 vs. model + oe-NC group. HF, heart failure; NC, negative control; LVPWD, left ventricular posterior wall thickness; IVSD, interventricular septal dimension; LVEDD, left ventricular end diastolic diameter; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; FS, fractional shortening.
