Levosimendan and calcium sensitization of the contractile proteins in cardiac muscle: impact on heart failure.

abstract：:Qiliqiangxin (QL), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been shown to be beneficial for chronic heart failure. However, whether QL can also improve endothelial cell function in diabetic rats remains unknown. Here, we investigated the effect of QL treatment on endothelial dysfunction by comparing the effect of QL to tha...
