Enforced expression of H19 improves cardiac structure and function in diabetic rats.
(A,B) Left ventricular structure was determined by echocardiography. (C–F) Left ventricular systolic and diastolic function was evaluated by echocardiography. (G) Representative echocardiographic images in measurement of cardiac structure. E: peak velocity of early ventricular filling; A: peak velocity of transmitral flow during atrial contraction; Ea: early diastolic mitral annular velocity; Aa: late diastolic mitral annular velocity. *P < 0.05 compared with control; #P < 0.05 compared with DM.
