Abstract
A chronically activated transgenic kallikrein kinin system with expression of human kallikrein-1 gene counteracts the progression of left ventricular contractile dysfunction after experimental myocardial infarction. Further studies have to show whether these results can be caused by other therapeutically options. Long acting bradykinin receptor agonists might be an alternative option to improve ischemic heart disease.
