Abstract excerpt
We tested the hypothesis that nitric oxide (NO) released by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) is not only important in blood pressure regulation but also involved in cardiac function and remodeling and in the cardioprotective effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi). With the use of a 2D Doppler echocardiography system equipped with a 15-MHz linear transducer, we evaluated left ventricular (LV)...
