Disparate Functional Responses to β-adrenergic and Ischaemic Challenge in Male and Female Hypertrophic Cardiomyocytes

Cardiac hypertrophy is the most potent cardiovascular risk factor after age, with relative mortality risk greater in women. The cognate issue of whether ischaemia coincident with hypertrophic co-morbidity has differing gender aetiology/outcome has not been addressed. We used a novel polygenic model...

Sumario:Cardiac hypertrophy is the most potent cardiovascular risk factor after age, with relative mortality risk greater in women. The cognate issue of whether ischaemia coincident with hypertrophic co-morbidity has differing gender aetiology/outcome has not been addressed. We used a novel polygenic model of hypertrophy to examine male/female cellular stress responses in normal and hypertrophic cardiomyocytes.
