Gene Expression of Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Isolated Atrial and Ventricular Human Myocardium
19 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We studied the effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) and diastolic overstretch on the induction of cardiac growth in isometrically contracting muscle preparations from human right atria and left ventricles. We used the gene expression of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) as a molecular marker of cardiac hypertrophy. METHODS AND RESULTS: Northern blot analysis was performed in human atrial muscle...
