The linking of angiogenesis to contractile performance and substrate metabolism in the hypertrophied and failing heart
It has been suggested that a failure of angiogenesis (capillary growth) to keep pace with myocyte expansion is the driving force which pushes hypertrophied hearts into a state of failure marked by contractile dysfunction and alterations in the mechanisms governing energy production. The aims of this...
