Echocardiography, and body and left ventricular weight data of ATF3 adenovirus-mediated gene delivery in normal adult rat heart compared to LacZ control.

Adenoviral gene construct expressing ATF3 and LacZ were injected onto the LV free wall and echocardiographic measurements were performed at 3 days after gene transfer. The values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 5–6/group).P-values are the result of ATF3 vs. LacZ Student's t-test.IVS, interventricular septum; LV, left ventricle; LVPW, left ventricular posterior wall; IVRT, isovolumetric relaxation time; HR, heart rate; BW, body weight.
