AT<sub>1</sub>and AT<sub>2</sub>Angiotensin Receptor Gene Expression in Human Heart Failure
4 Mar 1997
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The availability of selective antagonists for angiotensin II receptors has focused interest on the gene expression of angiotensin II-receptor subtypes in the human heart. METHODS AND RESULTS: We analyzed expression of the AT1 and AT2 subtypes of the angiotensin II receptor in ventricular myocardium taken from 9 donor hearts before implantation and from 12 patients with heart failure (6 with dilated...
