Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The genetic background is currently under close scrutiny when determining cardiovascular disease progression and response to therapy. However, this factor is rarely considered in physiological studies, where it could influence the normal behaviour and adaptive responses of the heart. We aim to test the hypothesis that genetic strain variability is associated with differences in excitation-contraction...
