Changes in the blood flow, structure and function of pulmonary artery and right ventricle for the investigated experimental groups: C, MCT, MCT-siRNA AP-1. A Representative recordings obtained in pulsed wave Doppler-mode, which highlight the Velocity Time Integral (VTI, mm) and Doppler Peak Velocity (Vel, mm/s) of the pulmonary artery; B representative B-mode recordings, which highlight the inner diameter (mm) of the pulmonary artery; C Representative B-mode recordings, which highlight the area of the right and left ventricle in diastole (mm2); D Representative M-mode recordings, which highlight right ventricle wall thickness in diastole (RVWTd, mm); Representative M-mode recordings, which highlight proximal ventricle outflow chamber during systole and diastole (PRVOFd, PRVOFs, mm); E Representative M-mode recordings which highlight tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE, mm)
