Pressure load: the main factor for altered gene expression in right ventricular hypertrophy in chronic hypoxic rats.
The present study investigated whether changes in gene expression in the right ventricle following pulmonary hypertension can be attributed to hypoxia or pressure loading.To distinguish hypoxia from pressure-induced alterations, a group of rats underwent banding of the pulmonary trunk (PTB), sham op...
