DELVING INTO THE HEART OF THE MATTER: UNDERSTANDING THE ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN TGF-β, CTGF AND EARLY MYOCARDIAL CHANGES IN ANGIOTENSIN-II INDUCED MYOCARDIAL FIBROSIS
(2017-03-31)Myocardial fibrosis is the common pathophysiological complication associated with diastolic heart failure. It is characterized by excess extracellular matrix (ECM) protein deposition, which contributes to increased ... -
Molecular Mechanisms of Myocardial Fibrosis Development
(2014-04-25)The prevention of heart failure in our aging population has become a healthcare priority. As part of the normal aging process patients have been shown to develop age-related myocardial fibrosis, which is characterized by ...
