Abstract

Transgenic and knock-out mice with cardiovascular phenotypes have created the need for methods to measure murine arterial and ventricular mechanics. The aims of this study were (1) to develop a method for the assessment of wall stress (sigma es)-rate corrected velocity of fiber shortening (Vcfc) relation and (2) to assess the feasibility of quantifying global arterial function in normal mice. This method can thus serve as a reference for future studies in genetically altered mice by establishing normal values for comparison. Ten anesthetized closed-chest mice were studied with targeted M-mode echocardiography of the left ventricle recorded simultaneously with high-fidelity aortic pressures. Data were acquired at baseline and during infusions of methoxamine and isoproterenol. Tracings were digitized to obtain end-systolic wall stress (sigma es) and rate-corrected velocity of fiber shortening (Vcfc) relationships and plots of systolic meridional wall stress. Instantaneous aortic pressures and continuous wave aortic Doppler velocities were digitized to study arterial hemodynamics. The Vcfc-sigma es relationship was inverse and linear in all mice studied with a median value of r2 = 0.94. Isoproterenol resulted in an upward shift fr...Continue Reading
