Cardiac function of WT, HE, and HO mice with or without moderate alcohol challenge. (A) Representative M‐mode echocardiographic images of each study group. (B) left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). n = 15. (C) Left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS). n = 15. (D) Left ventricular end‐systolic dimension (LVESD). n = 15. (E) Left ventricular end‐diastolic dimension (LVEDD). n = 15. (F) Left ventricular anterior wall thickness in diastole (LVAWD). n = 15. (G) Left ventricular posterior wall thickness in diastole (LVPWD). n = 15. All measurements were based on similar anesthesia conditions. The data are presented as the mean ± SEM. Statistical comparisons were carried out by one‐way ANOVA. The data are presented as the mean ± SEM.
