Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Binary transgenic (BT) mice with doxycycline (DOX)-suppressible cardiac-specific overexpression of endothelin-1 (ET-1) exhibit progressive heart failure (HF), QRS prolongation, and death following DOX withdrawal. However, the molecular basis and reversibility of the electrophysiological abnormalities in this model were not known. Here, we assess the mechanisms underlying ET-1-mediated electrical...
