Cardiac Contractility Modulation Attenuate Myocardial Fibrosis by Inhibiting TGF-β1/Smad3 Signaling Pathway in a Rabbit Model of Chronic Heart Failure
Backgroun/Aims: To explore the effect of cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) on myocardial fibrosis in heart failure and to investigate the underlying mechanism. Methods: Rabbits were randomly divided into sham group, HF group and CCM group. A rabbit model of chronic heart failure (CHF) was induc...
