What is the role of nitric oxide in controlling myocardial energetics and left ventricular diastolic distensibility in the failing heart?
Nitric oxide exerts beneficial effects on the failing myocardium by improving diastolic distensibility and optimizing myocardial energetics.
Paulus et al. (2004) conducted a review in Heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy, aortic stenosis. Nitric oxide was evaluated. Nitric oxide improves left ventricular diastolic distensibility and controls myocardial energetics, preventing energy wastage and diastolic stiffening in the failing myocardium.
