Urotensin II-Induced Increase in Myocardial Distensibility Is Modulated by Angiotensin II and Endothelin-1

Endogenous regulators, such as angiotensin-II (AngII), endothelin-1 (ET-1) and urotensin-II (U-II) are released from various cell types and their plasma levels are elevated in several cardiovascular diseases. The present study evaluated a potential crosstalk between these systems by investigating if...
