Probing local ROS distributions and calcium signaling microdomains in cardiac myocyes after myocardial infarction KU Leuven
After a heart attack some of the heart tissue has died (myocardial infarction) and the heart is left scarred. The remaining tissue and cells will grow and adapt but overall the heart pump function is weakened and the heart rhythm is also affected with sometimes deadly rhythm disturbances. This phenomenon is referred to as remodeling and better knowledge may give insights on how to slow or reverse this deleterious process and improve health. ...
