Brief description Muscle cells that constitute the bulk of the human heart do not divide but enlarge as we grow. Accelerated heart cell growth, as a consequence of heart damage or other factors, is a predictor of heart failure and early death. This application examines the cellular events that control heart growth in response to angiotensin, a hormone linked to heart failure. By understanding the mechanism by which angiotensin promotes growth, better therapies against human cardiovascular disease will evolve.
