Abstract excerpt
Overexpression of cardiac calsequestrin (CSQ) impairs Ca2+ signalling in murine myocytes, leading to marked cardiac hypertrophy. Here we report on contractile, histological and electrophysiological changes accompanying the development of cardiac hypertrophy and failure in CSQ-overexpressing mice. CSQ mice developed contractile dysfunction after 60 days of age, with only 40% survival at 6 months. Four- to...
