Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to examine cardiac geometry and function by Doppler echocardiography and to analyze mRNA expression of cardiac phenotype and extracellular matrix in myocardial infarcted rats. Doppler echocardiograms and hemodynamics were measured 2 weeks after myocardial infarction (MI). mRNA levels in the non-infarcted left ventricle (LV) and infarct site were measured by Northern blot analysis. LV...
