Hypothesis-generating for DITPA in rat post-MI remodeling; leaves open any clinical translation.
Does DITPA improve ventricular remodeling and angiogenesis in male rats post-myocardial infarction?
DITPA therapy attenuates ventricular remodeling and promotes arteriolar growth in rats following myocardial infarction, primarily through border zone preservation.
Zheng et al. (2004) studied this question.
