Ejection Fraction (EF), Fractional Shortening (FS), Left Ventricular End-Diastolic-Diameter (LVEDD), and Left Ventricular End-Systolic Diameter (LVESD) were evaluated echocardiographically in mice at baseline and before sacrifice. Mice were anesthetized (1–1.5% of isoflurane in oxygen) and the heart rate stabilized to 400–500 beats per minute. Echocardiography was performed by means of VEVO (VisualSonic, Toronto, ON, Canada) instrument and analyzed by means of the VEVO analysis software (Toronto, ON, Canada).
