Figure 2 (A) Cardiac echocardiographic cycle in rats of different ages. (B–G) LVDd, LVEDV, LVDs, LVESV, IVST, and LVPWT in WKY rats and SHRs. * P<0.05 compared with 16-week-old WKY rats, and # P<0.05 compared with 8-week-old SHRs. SHRs – spontaneously hypertensive rats; WKY – Wistar-Kyoto; LVDd – left ventricular end diastolic diameter; LVEDV – left ventricular end-diastolic volume; LVDs – left ventricular end systolic diameter; LVESV – left ventricular end-systolic volume; IVST – interventricular septum thickness; LVPWT – left ventricular posterior wall thickness.
