Cardiac epigenetic changes in VEGF signaling genes associate with myocardial microvascular rarefaction in experimental chronic kidney disease
11 Nov 2022
Abstract excerpt
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) often leads to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) and heart failure. Using a novel translational swine model of CKD-LVDD, we characterize the cardiac epigenetic landscape, identifying site-specific 5-methylcytosine changes in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-related genes associated with impaired angiogenesis and cardiac microvascular rarefaction. These...
