1 Levosimendan improves cardiac function and survival in rats with angiotensin II-induced hypertensive heart failure. Simendan angiotensinogen Rattus norvegicus
2 However, levosimendan improved systolic function, decreased cardiac atrial natriuretic peptide mRNA expression, ameliorated Ang II-induced cardiac damage and decreased mortality. Simendan angiotensinogen Rattus norvegicus
3 Our findings suggest that levosimendan ameliorates Ang II-induced hypertensive heart failure and reduces mortality. Simendan angiotensinogen Rattus norvegicus
4 The results also support the notion that the effects of levosimendan in dTGRs are mediated by blood pressure-independent mechanisms and include improved systolic function and amelioration of Ang II-induced coronary and cardiomyocyte damage. Simendan angiotensinogen Rattus norvegicus
