Herz - 1 Dec 1993

Abstract excerpt
Following myocardial infarction, there are structural changes in the surviving restmyocardium, including excentric hypertrophy. These changes are called "remodelling". It includes hypertrophy of the terminally differentiated cardiocytes and proliferation of other myocardial cells (e.g. connective tissue). In the hypertrophied cardiocytes, the pattern of gene expression is changing towards a perinatal-like...
