Alterations in the prognosis of chronic heart failure: an overview of the major mortality trials.

abstract：:ATP generates nitric oxide (NO) via activation of P2y receptors, and is degraded to adenosine. This study was undertaken to examine whether ATP causes coronary hyperemic flow via purinoceptors-, NO- and adenosine-dependent mechanisms, and attenuates the severity of contractile and metabolic dysfunction in the ischemic...
