Effects of Telmisartan on Right Ventricular Remodeling Induced by Monocrotaline in Rats
The present study investigated whether telmisartan, an angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist, has cardioprotective effects on monocrotaline-induced right ventricular (RV) remodeling in rats. Six-week-old male Wistar rats were divided into control group (CONT), monocrotaline (60 mg/kg, i.p.)–trea...
