Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: beta-adrenergic receptor (AR) and aging are two major contributors to pathogenesis of perioperative myocardial ischemia and infarction. This study compared the response to beta-AR stimulation in the young and aging heart and examined the role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in aging related myocardial ischemic injury and its relation to beta-AR stimulation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Isolated...
