Saphenous vein aorto-coronary graft atherosclerosis in patients with chronic kidney disease: more plaque calcification and necrosis, but less vasoconstrictor potential.

abstract：:A major limitation in long-term studies of quiescent adult cadiomyocytes in culture has been the decline in contractile properties of the cells over time. Regular contracting cardiomyocyte cultures may represent a more physiological model. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mechanical properties and c...
