Figure 3

LV volume-time curves from a representative control and diabetic mouse. The LV cavity slice volume in a mid-ventricular short-axis cine image is plotted against time of acquisition within the cardiac cycle. The difference of end-systolic volumes between control and diabetic mouse is apparent, while the end-diastolic volumes are similar. The maximum ejection rate and maximum filling rate calculated from these curves both are decreased in diabetic mice.
