Beneficial versus harmful effects of Angiotensin (1-7) on impulse propagation and cardiac arrhythmias in the failing heart
Introduction. The presence of Angiotensin (1-7) (Ang 1-7) and ACE 2 in the ventricle of cardiomyopathic hamsters as well as the influence of Ang (1-7) on membrane potential, impulse propagation and cardiac excitability were investigated. Methods. Histology and immunochemistry were used to demonstrat...
