Response of non-failing hypertrophic rat hearts to prostaglandin F2α

Response of non-failing hypertrophic rat hearts to prostaglandin F2α

Background: Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) has a positively inotropic effect on right ventricular (RV) trabeculae from healthy adult rat hearts, and may therefore be therapeutically useful as a non-catecholaminergic inotrope. These provide additional contractile support for the heart without the added en...
