Figure 3From: GLP-1 (7–36) amide restores myocardial insulin sensitivity and prevents the progression of heart failure in senescent beaglesThe effects of aging infusion on the time course to the development of DCM. Despite comparable baseline hemodynamics, Old-Control had a remarkably accelerated course of pacing induced DCM compared to Young-Control as demonstrated by: (A) early drop of LV dP/dt and (B) cardiac output, (C) rapid rise of LVEDP, and (D) early enlargement of left ventricle. LV dP/dt, left ventricle rate of rise of left ventricular pressure; LVEDP, left ventricle end-diastolic pressure; LVEDD, left ventricle end-diastolic diameter.Back to article page
