Assessment of Cardiac Function Using Pressure-Volume Loops as Cardiac Hypertrophy Develops from Iron Deficiency
Herbert G. Chew Jr, Jacqueline Zadra & Ashley Weigel · Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research · 2014
Aims: Cardiac hypertrophy develops from prolonged, severe iron deficiency (ID), but little is known about its function. We hypothesized that 4 weeks of ID would result in enhanced cardiac function, but would transition to loss by 9 weeks. Study Design: 38 rats were fed either con...
