Sex-specific differences and predictors of echocardiographic measures of diastolic dysfunction in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta).

Rhesus macaques share common sex- and age-related echocardiographic findings as humans, therefore, serve as a valuable translational nonhuman primate model for future studies of diastolic dysfunction. These findings confirm the importance of sex- and age-matching within future rhesus macaque cardiovascular research.
