The Med1tm2Jkr/Med1tm2Jkr A1cfTg(Myh6-cre/Esr1*)1Jmk/A1cf+ mouse heart is flaccid and flabby after tamoxifen induction.

mortality/aging
• mice survive between 13 and 28 days after the first day of tamoxifen injection

cardiovascular system
• hearts appear increasingly flaccid by 14 days after first tamoxifen injection
• mice treated with tamoxifen at 7 weeks of age exhibit an increase in heart size by 14 days after first tamoxifen injection
• tamoxifen treated mice show thinning of the ventricular walls
• tamoxifen treated mice show dilatation of the right and left ventricular chambers with thinning of the walls and myocardial cells
• interstitial myocardial fibrosis in tamoxifen-treated hearts
• tamoxifen-treated mice show diminished heart contractility with ejection fraction only 11% vs. 64% in controls and fractional shortening of 4.77% vs. 33.88% in controls
• echocardiography indicates increased left ventricular end-diastolic internal dimension, and decreased fractional shortening and ejection fraction in tamoxifen treated mice
• tamoxifen-treated hearts show enhanced apoptosis, with the number of apoptotic cardiomyocytes increased about 10-fold
• in tamoxifen treated mice

cellular
• interstitial myocardial fibrosis in tamoxifen-treated hearts
• tamoxifen-treated hearts show enhanced apoptosis, with the number of apoptotic cardiomyocytes increased about 10-fold

muscle
• tamoxifen-treated mice show diminished heart contractility with ejection fraction only 11% vs. 64% in controls and fractional shortening of 4.77% vs. 33.88% in controls
• tamoxifen-treated hearts show enhanced apoptosis, with the number of apoptotic cardiomyocytes increased about 10-fold

growth/size/body
• mice treated with tamoxifen at 7 weeks of age exhibit an increase in heart size by 14 days after first tamoxifen injection
