Abstract excerpt
Doppler indices of transmitral flow are used commonly to assess noninvasively LV diastolic function in man and in large animals. This review examines echocardiographic indices of LV diastole (focusing on color M-mode) in mice with abnormal LV relaxation and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy based on genetic alterations of phospholamban and alpha-tropomyosin, respectively. Phospholamban (PLB) reversibly inhibits the...
