Why the study?
Does tobacco smoke exposure worsen ventricular remodeling and oxidative stress in rats after myocardial infarction?
Does tobacco smoke exposure worsen ventricular remodeling and oxidative stress in rats after myocardial infarction?
In a rat model of myocardial infarction, exposure to tobacco smoke exacerbates ventricular remodeling and increases oxidative stress.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not yet change post-MI care; leaves open translation of tobacco effects on remodeling to humans.
