Abstract excerpt
Thyroid hormone deficiency has profound effects on the cardiovascular system, resulting in decreased cardiac contractility, adrenergic responsiveness, and vascular volume and increased peripheral vascular resistance. To determine the importance of direct cardiac effects in the genesis of hypothyroid cardiac dysfunction, the cardiac myocyte was specifically targeted with a mutant thyroid hormone receptor (TR)-beta...
