• mice do not differ significantly from wild-type in left ventricular (lv) muscle mass, lv end-diastolic volume and lv ejection fraction
• postnatally, mice do not differ significantly from wild-type in left ventricular (lv) muscle mass, lv end-diastolic volume and lv ejection fraction
• cardiac arrythmias are observed are observed after excorporation for ex vivo cardiac functional analyses including spontaneous and sustained ventricular tachycardias
• cardiac arrythmias are observed are observed after excorporation for ex vivo cardiac functional analyses including spontaneous and sustained ventricular tachycardias
• in vivo, spontaneous arrhythmic events such as ventricular extra systole (VES) are observed; frequency and severity of such events increase with by hypoxic stimulation
• surface and intercardiac ECGs ex vivo show a broadening of the QRS complex and decrease in the R wave in ventricle activity indicating disturbed impulse propagation
• decrease in the R wave
• isolated fetal cardiomyocytes show a 1.6-fold higher beating frequency than wild-type cells

muscle
• isolated fetal cardiomyocytes show a 1.6-fold higher beating frequency than wild-type cells
