Figure Lengend Snippet: Peak tension (PT) and peak tension per left ventricular weight (PT/LV), Time to peak tension (TPT), half relaxation time (HRT) and contraction time (CT) in the three studied groups: sham-operated control (Sham), untreated subtotally nephrectomized (untreated STNx) and treated subtotally nephrectomized (treated STNx) groups
Article Snippet: After a 20-min stabilization period, baseline cardiac activities were assessed by recording the heart rate (HR), peak developed tension (PT), time to peak tension (TPT) and half relaxation time (HRT) using an isometric force transducer (UGO BASILE S.R.L., Model 7004-F, Serial N. 101014, Data EVO 14543, Italy) connected with a USB cable to a recorder (UGO BASILE S.R.
