cardiovascular system
• mice exhibit an increased interventricular septal thickness compared to in wild-type mice
|
• heart weight is 25% greater than in controls and cardiomyocyte dimensions are larger
|
• mice exhibit an increase in left ventricle posterior wall thickness compared to in wild-type mice
|
• fractional shortening is depressed
(J:41949)
• the normal beta-adrenergic (via dobutamine) augmentation of cardiac contractility and relaxation is absent in mutants
(J:41949)
|
• reduction in contractility of left ventricle
|
• heart rate is slower during conscious blood pressure measurements and anesthetized echocardiographic studies
