Figure 2From: Uncovering the cathepsin system in heart failure patients submitted to Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) implantation Cysteine cathepsin inhibitors. mRNA expression of cysteine cathepsin inhibitors in cardiac tissue from ESHF patient of pre-LVAD group (n = 22), HT control group (n = 35) and post-LVAD group (n = 30), respectively. Relative expression (mean value ± SEM) of CysB (A) and CysC (B) are shown.Back to article page
