Beneficial effects of selective HDL-raising gene transfer on survival, cardiac remodelling and cardiac function after myocardial infarction in mice
13 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
Post-myocardial infarction (MI) ejection fraction is decreased in patients with low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, independent of the degree of coronary atherosclerosis. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether selective HDL-raising gene transfer exerts cardioprotective effects post MI. Gene transfer in C57BL/6 low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr)(-/-) mice was performed with the...
