Post-infarct ventricular remodeling is limited by transgenic alpha1A -adrenergic activation

Published in Cardiovascular Business Week, November 7th, 2006

Transgenic alpha1A -adrenergic activation limits post-infarct ventricular remodeling and dysfunction and improves survival.

According to recent research from Australia, "Myocardial contractility is enhanced in transgenic (TG) mice with cardiac-restricted overexpression of the alpha1A -adrenergic receptors (alpha1A -AR). We tested the hypothesis that this enhanced inotropy protects against dysfunction and remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI)."

"We subjected alpha1A -TG and non-TG mice (NTG) to MI and determined changes in left ventricular (LV) function and diastolic dimension (LVDd) by...
