Abstract excerpt
Myocardial stunning is a form of acute reversible cardiac dysfunction that occurs after brief periods of ischemia and reperfusion. In several animal models, stunning is associated with proteolytic truncation of troponin I (TnI). Mice expressing the same proteolytic TnI fragment [TnI-(1-193)] demonstrate cardiac depression with a decreased maximal calcium-activated tension. We therefore hypothesized preferential...
