Protective effects of FK409, a novel nitric oxide donor, against postischemic myocardial dysfunction in guinea-pig hearts.

abstract：:Qiliqiangxin (QL), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been used in the treatment of chronic heart failure. However, whether QL can benefit cardiac remodeling in the hypertensive state is unknown. We here examined the effects of QL on the development of cardiac hypertrophy through comparing those of losartan in C57BL/...
