Figure 5. Ejection fraction (EF) in Acad9 cardiac specific deficient compared to wild type mouse.

Figure 5.

A. Comparison of ejection fraction between a single Acad9 deficient mouse and a wild type littermate at day P14. EFs were calculated by determining the difference in surface area of the visible blood in the left ventricle when it is at its largest and smallest (i.e. an image where the left ventricle completely closes would have an EF of 1. Cardiac EFs were calculated using all three orientations. B. EF in day P3 hearts of Acad9−/− and wild type animals. EF measured at day P3 was significantly decreased in mutant animals (2–5) compared to wild type (1) suggesting that the pathologic process started in utero. EF was measured from the short axis.
