Abstract excerpt
Deficiency of either neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS1) or endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) leads to cardiac hypertrophy in mice. Loss of both produces concentric left ventricular (LV) remodeling, in which increased wall thickness is accompanied by reduced cavity size. In humans, this phenotype develops in elderly hypertensive patients and independently predicts mortality. Accordingly, we tested the...
