Cardioprotective effect of nicorandil on isoproterenol induced cardiomyopathy in the Mdx mouse model

Abstract Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) associated cardiomyopathy is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. In an in vitro DMD cardiomyocyte model, nicorandil reversed stress-induced cell injury through multiple pathways implicated in DMD. We aimed to test the efficacy of nicorandil...
