Figure 1

Experimental setup to simultaneously measure ascending aortic flow velocity using DFVS, left ventricular pressure using Millar catheter, and ECG in group 1 mice. Here the 20 MHz Doppler probe is oriented (angle ≤ 20°) towards the ascending aorta with sample volume placed at aortic root. Shown in the plot are ascending aortic outflow velocity (sampled at the site shown by blue dot), LV pressure (sampled at catheter tip in LV), and ECG signals.
