Abstract excerpt
Sex differences in myocardial recovery have been reported after acute ischemia and reperfusion injury. Estrogen and the estrogen receptor are critical determinants of cardiovascular sex differences.

We hypothesized that estrogen receptor-alpha is an important modulator of 1) myocardial functional recovery after ischemia and 2)...
