Representative echocardiography parameters obtained from control and MCT-treated rats at 2, 4, and 6 weeks. a-d Pulse-wave Doppler of parasternal view at the level of the pulmonary valve leaflets, which was aligned to maximize laminar flow. White arrowhead points to midsystolic pulmonary artery notching. Pulmonary artery acceleration time (PAAT) is highlighted by green double-headed arrows. e-h Morphology of right ventricle presented in four-chamber view. White double-headed arrows highlights RV internal diameter during diastole. i-l Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) highlighted by M-mode echocardiography
