mortality/aging
• all mice die 8 to 10 weeks after tamoxifen injection due to rapid progression to heart failure; mice appear sick and become inactive a few days before death

cardiovascular system
• following tamoxifen treatment, hearts show an irregular alignment of cardiomyocytes, with frequent gaps between cells
• amount of polymerized F-actin in cardiomyocytes progressively decreases after tamoxifen treatment
• myofibrils at the intercalated disks are often stretched and fragmented following tamoxifen treatment
• Z disks of cardiomyocytes are misaligned and myofibrils are split 60 days after tamoxifen treatment
• 60 days after tamoxifen treatment, cardiac tissue shows a lower density of myofibrils and a defect in demarcation of Z lines and M lines
• 95% of intercalated disks of hearts are enlarged, irregularly shaped, and are thicker 60 days after tamoxifen treatment
• intercalated disks show extensive interdigitation and the presence of lacunae, a widened space at the site of myofibril attachment to the intercalated disks, following tamoxifen treatment
• hearts show features of eccentric hypertrophy 2 months after tamoxifen treatment, with dilation of the ventricular chambers
• however, no concentric hypertrophy is seen
• mild left ventricle enlargement is seen 1 month after tamoxifen treatment, without significant left atrium remodeling and moderately increased left ventricle mass index
• dilation of the ventricular chambers is seen 2 months after tamoxifen treatment
• mild fibrosis in subendocardial regions are seen 2 months after tamoxifen treatment
• hearts are enlarged 2 months after tamoxifen treatment, with impaired contractility and relaxation
• however, thickening of the free wall is not seen
• decrease in left ventricular contractility is seen 21 days after tamoxifen treatment, with a decrease in ejection fraction and mean shortening velocity of circumferential fibers
• contractility and relaxation are moderately altered at 1 month after tamoxifen treatment, however 2 months after tamoxifen treatment, a massive decrease in left ventricle contractility and relaxation are seen, with increased E/Ea ratio, indicating heart failure
• contractility and relaxation are moderately altered at 1 month after tamoxifen treatment, however 2 months after tamoxifen treatment, a massive decrease in left ventricle contractility and relaxation are seen, with increased E/Ea ratio, indicating heart failure
• heart failure is seen 8 to 10 weeks after tamoxifen treatment

mortality/aging
• mutant embryos begin to die around E10.5 however at E9.5 only 20% cre expressing homozygous embryos were found, rather than the expected 25%

cardiovascular system
• the cytoplasmic volume of the cardiomyocytes is reduced
• the trabeculae are thinner and less-abundant
• at E11.5 the myocardial wall is severely disorganized
• at E11.5 the myocardial wall is severely disorganized with varying degrees of ventricular atrophy, the thickness of the compact layer is significantly reduced, and the atrial wall thickness is severely reduced
• the interventricular septum is thinner and disorganized
• the lumens of the right and left atria are significantly enlarged
• starting at E10.5 embryos develop severe hemorrages in and around the cardiac and ventral body wall regions

cellular
• a dramatic increase in apoptotic cells is seen at E11.5 in the heart, limb buds, epidermis, and vessels

growth/size/body
• by E13.5 only growth-retarded or resorbed embryos are found
