The PPARgamma-activator rosiglitazone does not alter remodeling but increases mortality in rats post-myocardial infarction.

OBJECTIVE: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) activators may be beneficial in heart failure due to their metabolic and antihypertrophic effects, but these agents can cause oedema.
