Supports p47(phox) targeting in post-MI remodeling; hypothesis-generating in mice and untested clinically.
Does genetic deletion of p47(phox) improve left ventricular remodeling, dysfunction, and survival after myocardial infarction in mice?
Genetic deletion of the NAD(P)H oxidase subunit p47(phox) attenuates left ventricular remodeling and dysfunction and improves survival after myocardial infarction in mice, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target.
Doerries et al. (2007) studied this question.
