Cardiac stiffness correlates with the extent of myocardial hypertrophy. a Graphs of left ventricular (LV) mass to body weight (LVmass/body weight) and to tibia length (LVmass/tibia length) are shown. b Results of correlation analysis of LVmass/tibia length to the slope of end-diastolic pressure–volume relationship (EDPVR) and to early diastolic strain rate (SrE). c Representative hematoxylin–eosin stained sections. Magnification: ×400. Marker: 100 µm. *p < 0.05 vs. corresponding controls
