Abstract
We investigated left ventricular (LV) hemodynamics, pressure-volume relations, and morphometry to determine what cardiac changes characterize pregnancy in the guinea pig. Time-bred virgin guinea pigs were paired by weight with unbred controls. Hemodynamic studies and LV pressure-volume relations were obtained on days 59-68 of the 68-day gestation. Weight of control sows increased from 817 to 902 g (P2 consumption, +48% (P
