Tachycardia of atrial myocytes induces collagen expression in atrial fibroblasts through transforming growth factor β1.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Air bubbles entering the coronary artery may have harmful effects on cardiac function. From the physical point of view it is the relatively high surface tension of the blood-air interface which causes bubbles to trap in small vessels. The aim of the present study was to reduce depression of myocardial functio...
