Multiscale model of heart growth couples. Credit: American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology (2024). DOI: 10.1152/ajpheart.00104.2024 The hearts of pregnant rats with high blood pressure increase in size more than rats experiencing a normal pregnancy, according to computer model predictions. The model, developed by researchers at the University of Minnesota, also forecasts two different post-delivery outcomes depending on whether the rats were allowed to nurse their offspring. The results of the study are published in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology. There are a lot of unknowns Read More
