Abstract

BACKGROUND: The role of the angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2-R) in left ventricular (LV) remodeling may depend on the underlying stimulus. We hypothesized that cardiac AT2-R overexpression in transgenic (TG) mice would attenuate remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS AND RESULTS: Te...
