Aortic acceleration as a noninvasive index of left ventricular contractility in the mouse
Abstract The maximum value of the first derivative of the invasively measured left ventricular (LV) pressure (+ dP/dtmax or P′) is often used to quantify LV contractility, which in mice is limited to a single terminal study. Thus, determination of P′ in mouse longitudinal/serial studies requires a g...
