Reversible cardiac fibrosis and heart failure induced by conditional expression of an antisense mRNA of the mineralocorticoid receptor in cardiomyocytes
7 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
Cardiac failure is a common feature in the evolution of cardiac disease. Among the determinants of cardiac failure, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system has a central role, and antagonism of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy. In this study, we questioned the role of the MR, not of aldosterone, on heart function, using an inducible and cardiac-specific transgenic...
