Abstract excerpt
Several investigations have demonstrated the regional heterogeneity of myocardial phenotype, and hypertrophy may also induce regionally disparate changes. We have utilized the direct DNA injection technique to study regional variations in overload-induced ANF expression. Pressure overload was induced by stenosis of the ascending aorta in canines. ANF promoter reporters were injected into the left ventricle; in...
