Recently, low--but abnormal--rates of cardiomyocyte apoptosis have been observed in failing human hearts. Genetic and pharmacological studies suggest that this cell death is causally linked to heart failure in rodent models. Herein, we review these data and discuss potential therapeutic implications.
最近,在衰竭的人类心脏中观察到心肌细胞凋亡率较低但异常。遗传学和药理学研究表明,在啮齿动物模型中,这种细胞死亡与心力衰竭存在因果关系。在此,我们回顾这些数据并讨论潜在的治疗意义。
