Effect of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor on regression in cardiac hypertrophy.

abstract：:We have investigated the links between electrical excitation and contraction in mammalian heart muscle. Using isolated single cells from adult rat ventricle, a whole-cell voltage-clamp technique and quantitative fluorescence microscopy, we have measured simultaneously calcium current (ICa) and [Ca2+]i (with fura-2).
