In the male SHR, early treatment with captopril was associated with the most marked attenuation of dysfunction relative to the untreated SHR. Treatment initiated after the onset of heart failure improved clinical signs of heart failure and decreased left ventricular hypertrophy in surviving animals but did not reverse the fibrosis and contractile dysfunction associated with heart failure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
