Table 1 Obesity increases left ventricular mass with preservation of volumes and ejection fractions in mice
| Â | Low-fat diet | High-fat diet | Change due to high-fat diet | p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Left ventricular mass (mg) | 100 ± 8 | 115 ± 8 | +15% | 0.032 |
Left ventricular end-diastolic volume (μL) | 61 ± 8 | 58 ± 5 | −6% | 0.548 |
Left ventricular end-systolic volume (μL) | 25 ± 5 | 21 ± 3 | −16% | 0.222 |
Left ventricular mass to end-diastolic volume ratio (mg/μL) | 1.6 ± 0.3 | 2 ± 0.2 | +22% | 0.032 |
Left ventricular ejection fraction (%) | 59 ± 3 | 64 ± 3 | +7% | 0.056 |
