increase in ratio of angiotensin II AT2 to AT1 receptor subtypes). Some of these switches,
such as the increased expression of the slow myosin ATPase isoform-myosin heavy chain
relative to the fast myosin ATPase isoform-myosin heavy chain, are adaptive and promote a
more favorable myoenergetic economy. However, the long-term functional implications of
many of the changes in gene expression are still unclear in the context of integrated
cardiovascular function in vivo.
