摘要: Cardiac hypertrophy can lead to heart failure (HF), but it is unpredictable which hypertrophied myocardium will progress HF. We surmised that apart from hypertrophy-related genes, failure-related genes are expressed before the onset of failure, permitting molecular prediction Hearts hypertensive homozygous renin-overexpressing (Ren-2) rats had progressed early HF were compared by microarray analysis Ren-2 remained compensated. To identify HF-related preceded cardiac biopsy specimens taken during compensated and we then monitored whether rat or Among 48 overexpressed in failing hearts, focused on thrombospondin-2 (TSP2). TSP2 was selectively only later Moreover, expression increased human hearts with decreased (0.19±0.01) versus normal ejection fraction (0.11±0.03 [arbitrary units]; P...
