Relaxation of cardiac pericytes by GLP-1 activating K <sub>ATP</sub> channels mediates remote ischaemic preconditioning cardioprotection
2025-06-30
Abstract excerpt
Failure to reperfuse the coronary microvasculature (“no-reflow”) affects up to 50% of patients after unblocking a coronary artery that caused ischaemia and acute myocardial infarction. No-reflow is associated with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, increased infarct size and death. We have established that no-reflow results from cardiac pericytes constricting coronary capillaries, and that pharmacological...
