Abstract | BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH:
Tetrandrine (50 mg x kg(-1) x day(-1)) was administered by oral gavage three times a day for one week and then the mice were subjected to either chronic pressure overload generated by aortic banding (AB) or sham surgery (control group). Cardiac function was determined by echocardiography. KEY RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS:
