Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Progressive loss of cardiomyocytes is one of the most important pathogenic characteristics of heart failure. Apoptosis may be an important mode of cell death in heart failure but it must be demonstrated by multiple criteria and not just TUNEL staining alone. Previously, we and others have demonstrated that besides apoptosis other phenomena like active gene transcription can result in TUNEL positivity....
