Cell Death in the Pathogenesis of Heart Disease: Mechanisms and Significance

TL;DR: Pharmacological and genetic inhibition of apoptosis and necrosis lessens infarct size and improves cardiac function in these disorders and a better understanding of these processes and their interrelationships may allow for the development of novel therapies for the major heart syndromes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of Cell Death in Heart Disease

TL;DR: The possibility is raised that small molecules aimed at inhibiting cell death may provide novel therapies for these common and lethal heart syndromes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiomyocyte Life-Death Decisions in Response to Chronic β-Adrenergic Signaling

TL;DR: Mechanisms that mediate β-adrenergic–induced cell death are investigated and, in doing so, a survival pathway of potential clinical relevance is uncovered and is uncovered in this issue of Circulation Research.
