Abstract
Measurement of the pre-ejection period (PEP) can give valuable information on myocardial function in rats. Depressed cardiac function is accompanied by prolongation of PEP, which shortens when cardiac function improves. Left ventricular ejection time (LVET) may be shortened with ageing in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
