Abstract

There is good evidence that nitric oxide has important autocrine/paracrine effects in the myocardium, serving to optimise and fine tune cardiac function

  • nitric oxide
  • heart failure
  • myocardial function
  • DCM, dilated cardiomyopathy
  • NO, nitric oxide
  • NOS, NO synthase
  • eNOS, endothelial NOS
  • iNOS, inducible NOS
  • nNOS, neuronal NOS
  • SR, sarcoplasmic reticulum
