Key result
FHL2-deficient mice are viable and maintain normal cardiac function both before and after acute mechanical stress induced by aortic constriction, indicating FHL2 is not essential for cardiac development.
FHL2 is not essential for normal cardiac development, function, or the hypertrophic response to acute pressure overload in mice.

FHL2 dispensable for murine cardiac adaptation to pressure overload; leaves open its relevance in human heart disease models.
Chu et al. (2000) studied Cardiac development and function. FHL2 gene knockout vs. Wild-type littermates was evaluated on Cardiac function and hypertrophic response to transverse aortic constriction. FHL2-deficient mice are viable and maintain normal cardiac function both before and after acute mechanical stress induced by aortic constriction, indicating FHL2 is not essential for cardiac development.
