Abstract excerpt
Left Ventricular (LV) myocytes were isolated from 15-wk-old male mice bearing the Arg403 --> Gln alpha-cardiac myosin heavy chain missense mutation (alpha-MHC403/+), a model of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. LV myocytes were classified morphologically: type I, rod shaped with parallel myofibrils; type II, irregularly shaped, shorter and wider than wild-type (WT) control cells, with parallel myofibrils; and...
