The type 2 diabetic mouse hearts show impaired repolarization, Ca handling homeostasis, and cardiac conduction reserve, leading to vulnerability of spatially discordant alternans development and induction of VA. Altered Ca -handling protein expressions probably underlie the molecular mechanisms of arrhythmogenicity in the type 2 diabetes animal model.
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.
