Endothelin-1 increases susceptibility of isolated rat hearts to ischemia/reperfusion injury by reducing coronary flow.

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is the most potent vasoconstrictor known to date, and it was proposed that this peptide plays a major role in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. ET-1 could increase myocardial susceptibility to ischemia by two mechanisms: via coronary flow reduction and/or via direct, metabo...
