Values of the echocardiographic parameters at baseline and two week post-TAC.

IVST: interventricular septum thickness; LVPWT: left ventricular posterior wall thickness; LVEDd: left ventricular end diastolic dimension; LVESd: left ventricular end systolic dimension; LVM-Echo: left ventricular mass by echocardiography; LVM-Grav: left ventricular mass by gravimetry; LVMI-Grav: gravimetric left ventricular mass indexed to the body weight; BW: Body weight. Values are mean ± SEM. a: Values from independent groups of mice killed at baseline.+p++p+++p*p**p***p$p$$p
