Two-Dimensional Echocardiographic Analysis of Left Ventricular Wall and Chamber Dimension at 2 weeks or 4 weeks after TAC in Control, TAC alone and together with IMD supplementation treated Mice (mean±s.e.m., n = 15).

LVSd, left ventricle (LV) end systolic diameter; LVIDd, LV internal dimension in diastole; LVPWd, LV posterior wall dimension; LVIDs, LV internal dimension in systole; EDV, End-diastolic volume; ESV, end-systolic volume; EF(Teich)%, ejection fraction calculated by using the Teichholz method; FS%, Left ventricular fractional shortening %; SV(Teich), stroke volume calculated by using the Teichholz method. CON, control; TAC and TAC+IMD mean mice received transverse aortic constriction treatment without and with IMD treatment, respectively.*P#P##P&P&&p
