Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We sought to assess with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the influence of strain type and gender on left ventricular (LV) global function and mass in 3 inbred mouse strains with a normal cardiac phenotype. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 30 mice from 3 inbred strains (C57BL/6, 29S2/SvPasCrl, and C3HFeJ) were studied on a 7.05-T MR scanner using ECG-triggered cine sequences. LV mass and volumes were...
