Right ventricular (RV) end-diastolic area (a) and pulmonary artery acceleration time/pulmonary artery ejection time (PAT/PET) ratio (b). Representative images of RV area on short-axis B-dimensional views of both ventricles (c). LV: left ventricle. Representative images of pulmonary blood flow (d). A.U.: arbitrary units; C: control; ELA: elastase-induced emphysema; Sal: i.p. injection of saline; Ghr: i.p. injection of ghrelin. Bars are means ± SD of 10 animals per group. * vs. C-Sal. # vs ELA-Sal
