Evolution of global LV strain rates in male and female sham and AR rats. Global longitudinal (a and b) and circumferential (c and d) strain rates were calculated from parasternal long axis LV views in sham (blue) and AR (red) male and female rats at four different time points over a 6 months after surgery. Results are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM; N = 8–10 animals/group). **: p < 0.01 between corresponding sham and AR groups at a given time point
