DATA HIGHLIGHT : Age Differences in Heart Rate and Electrocardiogram Time Intervals

Center researchers characterizing inbred strains of mice for aging phenotypes at 6, 12 and 18 months of age have revealed a genetic influence on electrocardiogram (ECG) time intervals and heart rate in aging mice.

Data from these studies are presented below and have been deposited in the Mouse Phenome Database [ Datasets ]
