Mechanisms of myocardial remodeling: ramiprilat blocks the expressional upregulation of protein kinase C-epsilon in the surviving myocardium early after infarction.

abstract：:Cardiac fibroblasts are the major non-myocyte cell constituent in the myocardium, and they are involved in heart remodeling. Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) mediates the established actions of angiotensin II (Ang II), and changes in its expression have been reported in cardiac fibroblasts after myocardial infarc...
