Inhibition of Reverse-Mode Sodium-Calcium Exchanger Activity and Apoptosis by Levosimendan in Human Cardiomyocyte Progenitor Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes after Anoxia and Reoxygenation

Levosimendan, a known calcium sensitizer with positive inotropic and vasodilating properties, might also be cardioprotective during ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) insult. Its effects on calcium homeostasis and apoptosis in I/R injury remain unclear. Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) is a critical mediator of...
