Suppression of angiotensin-converting enzyme expression and activity by shear stress.

abstract：:The kinetics of contractions and Ca(2+) transients are slowed in myocytes from failing hearts. The mechanisms accounting for these abnormalities remain unclear. Myocardial infarction (MI) was produced by ligation of the circumflex artery in rabbits. We used confocal microscopy to record spatially resolved Ca(2+) trans...
