pubmed:abstractText
Left ventricular hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality in patients with hypertensive heart disease. Cardiac hypertrophy, associated with increased cardiac fibrosis and myocardial relaxation impairment, shows gender-based differences with significantly higher mortality in men. The role of estrogen in the pathogenesis of this process is poorly understood. After our previous demonstration that cardiac myocytes and fibroblasts contain functional estrogen receptors, we therefore investigated: 1) the influence of different estrogen metabolites on cardiac fibroblast growth; 2) the influence of different estrogen metabolites on the expression of the immediate early gene c-Fos; 3) the influence of estrogen on the L-type calcium channel in cardiomyocytes.
