Published: May 2004

Left ventricular hypertrophy of the hearts in Wistar rats caused by renovascular hypertension prolongs depolarization of epicardial surface of the ventricles and increases the duration of excitation phase in the left ventricular epicardium. Sex-related differences in changes of myocardial contractility were revealed during hypertrophy of the left ventricle caused by renovascular hypertension.
