Long-Term PDE-5A Inhibition Improves Myofilament Function in Left and Right Ventricular Cardiomyocytes through Partially Different Mechanisms in Diabetic Rat Hearts
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are frequent complications of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Here we aimed to characterize RV and left ventricular (LV) remodeling and its prevention by vardenafil (a long-acting phosphodiesterase-5A (PDE-5A) inh...
