Abstract excerpt
Heart size is an important factor in cardiac health and disease. In particular, increased heart weight is predictive of adverse cardiovascular outcomes in multiple large community-based studies. We use two cohorts of Diversity Outbred (DO) mice to investigate the role of genetics, sex, age, and diet on heart size. DO mice (n = 289) of both sexes from generation 10 were fed a standard chow diet, and analyzed at...
