Early and late postnatal myocardial and vascular changes in a protein restriction rat model of intrauterine growth restriction.

Early and late postnatal myocardial and vascular changes in a protein restriction rat model of intrauterine growth restriction.

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in later life. Early structural and functional changes in the cardiovascular system after IUGR may contribute to its pathogenesis. We tested the hypothesis that IUGR leads to primary myocardial and vascular alteration...
