Electrical Remodeling of Pressure Overloaded Rat Heart Is Attenuated if Imposed During Proliferative Cardiac Growth.
Article in Acta physiologica (Oxford, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimLeft ventricular pressure overload (LVPO) in adults is associated with adverse electrical remodeling, characterized by reduced conduction velocity (CV). However, the progression of LVPO differs when imposed during the proliferative phase of cardiac development. It remains unknown how increased cardiomyocyte proliferation affects LVPO electrical remodeling.
methodsCV maturation from rat postnatal day (PD) 1 to PD90 and analyzed underlying connexin 43 (Cx43) profile. Pressure overload was induced by abdominal aortic constriction (AAC) in rats during the proliferative phase of cardiac growth (PD2). Animals subjected to AAC during the non-proliferative heart growth (AAC-PD6) and Sham-operated rats served as controls. Electrical remodeling was assessed at PD21 using ECG, optical mapping, western blots, immunofluorescence, and lipidomic analysis, complemented by functional analyses through echocardiography.
resultsPressure overload led to a 2.5-fold increase in heart weight compared to Sham in both AAC groups. A significant increase in relative left ventricular wall thickening was observed in AAC-PD2 rats only. Optical mapping and ECG showed preserved conduction properties in AAC-PD2 animals, whereas the AAC-PD6 group displayed prolonged QRS and significantly reduced longitudinal CV. While total and phosphorylated Cx43 levels were comparable between the AAC groups, AAC-PD2 animals demonstrated higher intercalated disc localization. Furthermore, lipidomic profiling revealed maintained long-chain acylcarnitine (LCAC) levels in AAC-PD2, whereas AAC-PD6 tended toward LCAC accumulation.
conclusionThis study provides new insights into the remodeling upon pressure overload during cardiac proliferative growth, demonstrating attenuated electrical alteration by preserved CV and highlighting the role of Cx43 localization and preserved levels of LCACs.
