Mechanical unloading of the heart with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) significantly decreases mortality in patients with heart failure. Moreover, it provides a human model to define the critical regulatory genes governing myocardial remodeling in response to significant reductions in wall stress. Statistical analysis of a gene expression library of 19 paired human heart samples harvested at the time of LVAD implant and again at explant revealed a set of 22 genes that were downregulated ...[more]
