Structural Defects Precede Functional Decline In Heart Muscle
The disruption of a structural component in heart muscle cells, which is associated with heart failure, appears to occur even before heart function starts to decline, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine. The structure is a highly organized network of grooves in heart muscle membrane called T-tubules. This network is ...
