Right ventricular pressure overload in rats elicited sex-dependent contractile and fibrotic responses, but overall mechanoenergetic adaptation remained comparable between the sexes.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Sex differences in right ventricular mechanical efficiency and energetic adaptation to increased right ventricular afterload were measured. Despite sex-dependent differences in contractile and fibrotic responses, right ventricular mechanoenergetic adaptation was comparable between the sexes, suggesting a homeostatic target.
