Impact of infectious burden on extent and long-term prognosis of atherosclerosis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A hallmark of heart failure is impaired cytoplasmic Ca(2+) handling of cardiomyocytes. It remains unknown whether specific alterations in nuclear Ca(2+) handling via altered excitation-transcription coupling contribute to the development and progression of heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS:Using tissue and...
