Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In chronic heart failure due to a dilated cardiomyopathy phenotype, the molecular bases for contractile dysfunction and chamber remodeling remain largely unidentified. METHODS: To investigate the feasibility of measuring global gene expression serially in the intact failing human heart, we performed repeated messenger RNA (mRNA) expression profiling using RNA extracted from endomyocardial biopsy...
