N normal phenotype
cardiovascular system
• hearts are flabby and flimsy and the heart does not maintain a sphere-like shape
• hearts exhibit thin myocardial walls
• pressure-volume loop shows a decreased percent ejection fraction and increased end-systolic volume and end-diastolic volume, indicating dilated left ventricular chamber
• hearts exhibit a dilated cardiomyopathy-like phenotype presenting as enlarged left ventricular chamber and thinner ventricular wall in 2-month-old mice that is less severe than in homozygotes
• however, no cardiac fibrosis is seen
• the mitral E/A ratio (the ratio of blood velocity through the mitral valve in early diastole to blood velocity in late diastole caused by atrial contraction) is increased in females, but not males
• survivors under unconscious conditions show decreased left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening
• mice develop abnormal heart rhythm with irregular PR and RR intervals
• electrocardiogram of survivors under unconscious conditions and conscious echo show lower left ventricular ejection fraction, larger left ventricular end diastolic diameter and systolic diameter, and decreased fractional shortening and relative left ventricle wall thickness
• irregular PR interval
• irregular RR interval
• the slope of end diastolic stress sarcomere length relation and end systolic stress-sarcomere length relation are reduced and the maximal rate of stress rise during isometric contraction is reduced, however the maximal rate of stress decline is not different, indicating reduced cardiomyocyte diastolic stiffness
• the shortening amplitude of cardiomyocytes is larger and the time to peak shortening is prolonged while the time from peak to 50% is unaltered, indicating impaired cardiomyocyte contractility

muscle
• hearts exhibit thin myocardial walls
• hearts exhibit a dilated cardiomyopathy-like phenotype presenting as enlarged left ventricular chamber and thinner ventricular wall in 2-month-old mice that is less severe than in homozygotes
• however, no cardiac fibrosis is seen
• survivors under unconscious conditions show decreased left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening
• baseline sarcomere length of cardiomyocytes is shorter
