Posterior mitral leaflet motion in mitral stenosis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:ε protein kinase C (εPKC) is involved in vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) activation, but little is known about its function in vascular pathology. We aimed at assessing the role of εPKC in the development of restenosis. METHODS AND RESULTS:Rat models of aortic balloon injury with or without subsequent st...
