Comparison of the antiremodeling effects of losartan and mirabegron in a rat model of uremic cardiomyopathy

Abstract Uremic cardiomyopathy is characterized by diastolic dysfunction (DD), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and fibrosis. Angiotensin-II plays a major role in the development of uremic cardiomyopathy via nitro-oxidative and inflammatory mechanisms. In heart failure, the beta-3 adrenergic rece...
