Exposure of cardiac microvascular endothelial cells to harmful stimuli : a study of the cellular responses and mechanisms
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2014-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Exposure to harmful stimuli can render vascular endothelial cells dysfunctional, characterised by
reduced nitric oxide (NO) bioavailibility. Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is a reversible precursor ...
Possible mechanisms for levosimendaninduced cardioprotection
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2008-12)
Background and purpose. To limit ischaemic injury, rapid restoration of coronary
blood flow is required, which will in turn reduce infarct size. However, reperfusion
itself causes myocyte death – a phenomenon termed ...
