Why the study?
Does endothelin receptor blockade prevent the reduction in thin-filament calcium sensitivity in failing Dahl salt-sensitive rat hearts?
Does endothelin receptor blockade prevent the reduction in thin-filament calcium sensitivity in failing Dahl salt-sensitive rat hearts?
The transition to heart failure in Dahl salt-sensitive rats involves reduced thin-filament calcium sensitivity, which may be mediated by an endothelin-triggered pathway.

Endothelin blockade preserved thin-filament calcium sensitivity in failing rat hearts; hypothesis-generating for human HF and requires clinical validation.
Noguchi et al. (2003) studied this question.
