Abstract excerpt
Our aim was to explore the dose-dependent diastolic dysfunction and the mechanisms of heart failure and early death in transgenic (TG) mice modeling human restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM). The first RCM mouse model (cTnI(193His) mice) carrying cardiac troponin I (cTnI) R193H mutation (mouse cTnI R193H equals to human cTnI R192H) was generated several years ago in our laboratory. The RCM mice manifested a...
