  1. In vivo cardiac function was measured via echocardiography in Dahl salt-sensitive rats fed a low salt diet, 0.3% NaCl (Control), or a high salt diet, 8% NaCl, for 3, 6, or 9 weeks. n = 5–8 * p < 0.05 compared to Control. * p < 0.05 compared to Control. # p < 0.05 compared to 3 weeks. T p < 0.05 compared to 6 weeks. n = 6–9 Values shown as mean ±SEM % Ejection fraction (%EF); % Fractional shortening (%FS); left ventricle (LV); Interventricular septum end diastole (IVSd); LV internal diameter end diastole (LVIDd); LV posterior wall thickness end diastole (LVPWd); Interventricular septum end systole (IVSs); LV internal diameter end systole (LVIDs); LV posterior wall thickness end systole (LVPWs); LV volume end diastole (LV Vol;d); LV volume end systole (LV Vol;s); Isovolumetic relaxation time (IVRT); Isovolumetic contraction time (IVCT); Tibia length (TL); Heart rate (HR)
