Pacing-induced dys-synchrony preconditions rabbit myocardium against ischemia/reperfusion injury by VANAGT, Ward Y, CORNELUSSEN, Richard N, POULINA, Quincy P, BLAAUW, Erik, VERNOOY, Kevin, CLEUTJENS, Jack P, VAN BILSEN, Marc, DELHAAS, Tammo, PRINZEN, Frits W

“…Because increased mechanical load induces preconditioning (PC) and dys-synchrony increases loading in late-activated regions, we investigated whether…”
