How similar are the mice to men? Between-species comparison of left ventricular mechanics using strain imaging.

<h4>Background</h4>While mammalian heart size maintains constant proportion to whole body size, scaling of left ventricular (LV) function parameters shows a more complex scaling pattern. We used 2-D speckle tracking strain imaging to determine whether LV myocardial strains and strain rat...
