Key result
NO donors such as GSNO and DEA/NO produced significant positive inotropic effects in isolated guinea-pig and human cardiomyocytes (e.g., 48% increase with GSNO in human myocytes, P<0.05).

NO donor kinetics may influence isolated myocyte contractility; leaves open translation to clinical cardiac effects.
p-value: p=<0.05
Certain NO donors exert a positive inotropic effect on isolated guinea-pig and human cardiomyocytes that is independent of sGC and cAMP pathways.
David Sarkar (2000) studied Isolated cardiomyocytes. NO donors (GSNO and DEA/NO) was evaluated on Contraction amplitude (p=<0.05). NO donors such as GSNO and DEA/NO produced significant positive inotropic effects in isolated guinea-pig and human cardiomyocytes (e.g., 48% increase with GSNO in human myocytes, P<0.05).
