Validates M-mode echocardiography for LV mass in baboon hypertension models; extends preclinical tools but leaves human translation open.
Does M-mode echocardiography accurately estimate left ventricular mass and detect functional changes in baboons with chronic renal hypertension?
M-mode echocardiography accurately estimates left ventricular mass in baboons and can detect structural and functional changes associated with chronic hypertension, validating its use in this animal model.
