The way through which an out-of-tune protein precipitates heart failure by causing its muscle to malfunction has been revealed by researchers. Scientists have known for a while that several heart proteins - troponin I is one of them - get "out of tune" in patients with heart failure but the precise origin of the "bad notes" remained unclear. Troponin I, found exclusively in heart muscle, is already used as the gold standard marker in blood tests to diagnose ...Saturday, 15 September 2012
Heart Failure Precipitated by Out-of-Sync Protein
The way through which an out-of-tune protein precipitates heart failure by causing its muscle to malfunction has been revealed by researchers. Scientists have known for a while that several heart proteins - troponin I is one of them - get "out of tune" in patients with heart failure but the precise origin of the "bad notes" remained unclear.
