abstract：:Myocardial stunning is a form of reversible myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury associated with systolic and diastolic contractile dysfunction. In the isolated rat heart model, myocardial stunning is characterized by specific C-terminal proteolysis of the myofilament protein, troponin I (cTnI) that yields cTnI1-193...
