Abstract:Question
Cardiac metabolic remodeling is one of the early changes driving the progression of heart failure and is present even before overt cardiac dysfunction. Previously we showed that the tamoxifen inducible deletion of cardiomyocyte specific p38 MAPKa (KO) leads to a pronounced left ventricular dilation with a strongly impaired heart function just within 2 days of angiotensin II (ANGII) treatment. Additionally, a strong infiltration of immune cells in the cardiac tissue can be observed.
