ICR mice developed reduced systolic function and severe lung congestion 4 weeks post-TAC, whereas C57BL/6J did not, demonstrating severer fibrotic remodeling and poor behavioral performance in ICR mice.

Why the study?

Phenotypic variation occurs among mouse strains after transverse aortic constriction, and less is known about this pressure overload model in ICR mice.

Population

ICR and C57BL/6J mice

Comparison

TAC vs sham operation across ICR and C57BL/6J mouse strains

Follow-up

4 weeks

Overview

ICR mice show TAC sensitivity suitable for HF modeling; extends strain comparisons but leaves open translational validation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
ICR and C57BL/6J mice
I
Intervention
Transverse aortic constriction (TAC)
C
Comparator
Sham-operated mice and comparison between the two strains
O
Outcome
Phenotypic variation including echocardiography, organ index, morphology, and histology at 1, 2, and 4 weeks post-TACsurrogate

The ICR mouse strain is highly sensitive to TAC-induced heart failure, presenting a robust model for studying pressure overload-induced HF mechanisms and drug interventions.
