Through downregulation of SERCA2 gene expression, inflammatory cytokines may cause cardiac diastolic dysfunction by decreasing diastolic calcium reuptake. Our study may suggest novel therapeutic strategies for diastolic heart failure and critically ill patients by modulating inflammatory reactions.
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.
