Does acute atrial tachyarrhythmia induce angiotensin II type 1 receptor-mediated oxidative stress and microvascular flow abnormalities in the ventricles?
Rapid atrial pacing induces AT(1)-receptor-mediated oxidative stress in LV myocardium that is accompanied by impaired microvascular blood flow and cTn-I release. These findings provide a plausible mechanism for the frequently observed cTn-I elevation accompanied with typical angina pectoris symptoms in patients with paroxysmal AF and normal (non-stenotic) coronary arteries.
CHD5 was a TSG epigenetically down-regulated in gastric cancer.
