This novel technique of aortic banding allows induction of pressure overload cardiac hypertrophy in mice with less variance and higher reproducibility. Placing a rubber ring with a fixed diameter around the aorta induces a consistent increased flo

The present protocol describes a new technique of aortic banding in mice to induce pressure overload cardiac hypertrophy. For banding, a rubber ring with a fixed inner diameter is used. This new technique promises less variance and more reproducible data for future experiments.
