Cardiac Physiology and Imaging Core for Mouse in Vivo

介绍 该核心设施的目标是为本计划项目中的所有研究人员和项目提供服务， 三大领域： 1.提供心脏导管插入术、踏车负荷运动表现和遥测血流动力学 监测详细的生理特征，以及经胸超声心动图，磁共振成像， 用于功能性心脏形态学的共振成像和碘造影剂微血管造影， 心血管疾病的工程小鼠模型。 2.在小鼠中应用显微外科方法，以诱导左心室或右心室的压力超负荷，或 以产生心肌梗死，从而诱导心室重塑伴肥大或心力衰竭。 3.在需要时，在小鼠体内诱导高效心脏基因转移，以评估单个基因 功能

Introduction The goals of this core facility are to serve all of the investigators and projects within this Program Project in three major areas: 1. Provide heart catheterization, treadmill stress exercise performance, and telemetric hemodynamic monitoring for detailed physiologic characterization, as well as transthoracic echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging and iodinated contrast microangiography for functional cardiac morphology, of genetically engineered murine models of cardiovascular disease. 2. Apply microsurgical methods in mice for inducing a pressure overload on either the left or right ventricle, or to produce myocardial infarction, in order to induce ventricular remodeling with hypertrophy or heart failure. 3. Induce high efficiency in vivo cardiac gene transfer in mice, where needed, to assess individual gene function.
