Right ventricular dysfunctions in type 1 diabetic mice: A longitudinal study

Figure 3 Index of pulmonary arterial hypertension. A: Pulmonary acceleration time/pulmonary ejection time ratio; B: Diastolic interventricular septum thickness. A and B were measured by echocardiography, data panels A and B are presented as mean ± SD (n = 6-8); C: Right ventricular systolic pressure was measured directly using a right ventricular pressure catheter. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 4-6). ^aP < 0.05 vs control FVB mice; ^bP = 0.09 vs control FVB mice. PAT: Pulmonary acceleration time; PET: Pulmonary ejection time; IVSd: Interventricular septum thickness; RVSP: Right ventricular systolic pressure.
