Right ventricular hypertrophy is depicted as the increase in RVHI compared with Control group and Telmisartan group. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM (n=8 in each group). **P<0.01 compared with Control group; * P<0.05 compared with Control group; †P<0.05 compared with Low temperature group (one-way ANOVA).
