Effect of ovariectomy and angiotensin II (AII)-induced hypertension on myocardial stiffness. a Comparison of passive tension at various sarcomere lengths ranging from 1.9 to 2.5 μm of right ventricular trabeculae from SHAM and OVX rats, with/without AII. b Myocardial stiffness derived from exponential constant of passive tension-sarcomere length relation of the four experimental groups. Data are mean ± SE from 9 to 10 fibers from 5 hearts of each group. *Significantly different (P < 0.05) from SHAM using Student–Newman–Keuls test after ANOVA
