Table 1. Characteristics of Sham-operated Rabbits (SHAM) and Those with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH1and LVH2)
Data are mean ± SD.
*P < 0.05 versus SHAM.
LVH1= left ventricular hypertrophy with a “normal” left ventricular end-diastolic pressure; LVH2= left ventricular hypertrophy with a “high” left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (see text for explanation); BW = body weight; LVW = left ventricular weight; HW = heart weight.
