Cardiac function and LV strain were analysed by ultrahigh magnetic field 7-T MRI. (A) LVEF, LVEDV, LVESV, LVSV, and LVM were measured in the C, N, and NP groups. (B) and (C) myocardial strain values in three directions (longitudinal, circumferential, and radial) were analysed using cvi42 software. The yellow arrowheads indicate areas of decreased LV strain. The results are presented as the mean ± SD, and p values were calculated using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, C vs. N group or N vs. NP group. The number of mice in each group: C, n = 5; N, n = 5; NP, n = 5. LVEF, left ventricle ejection fraction; LVEDV, left ventricular end-diastolic volume; LVESV, left ventricular end-systolic volume; LVSV, left ventricular stroke volume; LVM, left ventricular mass; LS, longitudinal strain; CS, circumferential strain; RS, radial strain.
