Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Diastolic dysfunction often precedes the onset of diastolic heart failure. We previously demonstrated that diastolic dysfunction and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in Dahl salt-sensitive rats can be ameliorated by quantitative trait loci (QTLs). METHODS: We analyzed cardiac phenotypes of 2 "single" congenic strains, C10S.L33 and C10S.L28, by echocardiography, in which a specific Dahl...
