Myocardial cell death and regeneration during progression of cardiac hypertrophy to heart failure.

Abstract excerpt

Cardiac hypertrophy and ensuing heart failure are among the most common causes of mortality worldwide, yet the triggering mechanisms for progression of hypertrophy to failure are not fully understood. Tissue homeostasis depends on proper relationships between cell proliferation, differentiation, and death and any imbalance between them results in compromised cardiac function. Recently, we developed a transgenic...
